W>A>S>P>S / Nacht Und Nebel – Split 7″

Description

W>A>S>P>S are an unknown quantity to me, but on the strength is this side they’re worth keeping an eye out for. Very distorted and bass-heavy with a Gieger Counter atomic decay sound, this crackles away like nobody’s business. Top stuff. Henry Davies (he of Army Of Flying Robots and Moloch fame) has been doing Nacht Und Nebel for a good few years now – in fact I put him on at Glasgow Implodes in what was one of his first performances under that moniker. Proving that there’s more musical smarts about hardcore kids than most give credit for, he manages to make more interesting sounds from a cello and an effects pedal than most dopes get from an army of shit computer sound effects. Very dark and dirty-sounding grinding soundscapes that aren’t a million miles away from the early-80s Italian scene. Plus he’s one of the most sound guys I know, so support his debut vinyl release!
