BLACK STATE – Hlose LP

Description

I dunno if it’s everything that’s been happening lately, but I’m kinda finding shit like this to be just kinda fuckin annoying. Black State is another band whose previous records have bleak covers of Nazis and pictures of anonoymous black murder victims with titles like “Guns From Black People To Kill Them Later”. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say this is made by some middle-class white man who’s probably got just a wee bit of a pinger that I’m getting riled up by it. I’m not really, just think it’s lame. If you want to have conviction of your stupid beliefs, at least a) don’t be anonymous and b) state your beliefs up front. It’s very easy to make vague allusions to stuff and say it’s “artisticlly investigting” something. Very few have ever got away with that with any degree of validity, cos most are just daft wee boys. Musically this is pretty minimal, bleak power electronics. It’s ok, but it’s also incredibly easy to make if you have an amp and a few basic effects pedals. Moment of revalation: noise cunts aren’t very talented! Another one for folk to buy on Discogs who don’t read these reviews.
