193: Wyrd Visions // Half-Eaten Guitar
Tumblr media
Half-Eaten Guitar Wyrd Visions 2006, Blue Fog
The usual fear with learning biographical details about your favourite occult-coded neo-folk musician is discovering that they’re actually a Nazi. (Or possibly worse still, if prizing authenticity: finding out they aren’t.) If said musician is from Toronto though, the real dread is finding out that they have a LinkedIn.
Self-released in 2006 and reissued in 2014 by Phil Elverum in a seemingly plain cardboard sleeve that bears text impressions more easily deciphered with the fingertips than the eye, Wyrd Visions’ Half-Eaten Guitar has an intentional air of mystery. The sounds within (extremely slow, extremely minimal mostly-acoustic Nordic folk informed by the aesthetics of first-wave black metal) also point towards the work of a quasi-outsider artist, the sort of recording a label press release can claim to have “discovered” through some unlikely series of events. Still, notice how the inside of the sleeve is a striking, bold Undertaker-purple? That’s a clue.

As a matter of fact, Colin Bergh, the artist behind Wyrd Visions, was much better known in Toronto as part of the trio who founded Bad Day, a fashion and culture zine whose splashy gallery launch parties were attended by the fab international and hosted by people like James Franco and Gus Van Sant. (This sort of thing was an especially big deal in credibility-thirsty Toronto, a legitimate world city gnawed by the inner fear that it is secretly Columbus, Ohio with more colourful money.) The knowledge of Bergh’s identity as an haute couture guy whose previous band was called Awesome is inevitably going to impact how you hear Wyrd Visions. Any perception of irony is poison to monkish music like this, because it introduces the possibility that what you are hearing is actually a very slow, (almost literally) one-note joke. And if it is intended as a joke, are you a fool for following your instinct to engage with it on its own droning terms, for sinking into the somnambulant world it seems to evoke?
To Bergh’s credit, I think Wyrd Visions ultimately comes across as a sincere venture and that, given time, Half-Eaten Guitar’s stillness and austerity have the power to draw in even highly skeptical listeners. Wyrd Visions borrows black metal’s somber chord progressions and wintry vibes while jettisoning its machismo, particularly in Bergh’s youthful, Grizzly Bear-esque vocals. At times Half-Eaten Guitar is reminiscent of Agalloch’s more ambient work, such as the mournful electric guitar that enters on bonus track “Air Conditioning.” There is probably a think-piece (or a think-sentence) someone might feel like writing about someone from the fashion world covering Mayhem’s “Freezing Moon,” a band with a few guys in it who’d’ve at least thought about murdering Bergh for daring to play their music had he tried it in 1993. But, ach, is that sort of thing interesting anymore? Better to say that Bergh and guest singer Jennifer Castle find a nice midway point between campfire and bonfire light for the tune, a cold thrill in the old command to “follow the freezing moon.”

Hello everyone!
This is a recording of a short, instrumental acoustic gig I played on 12-string guitar, with my dear lovely and beautiful friend Winter Snow on bowed double bass. I was very unsure of myself, playing guitar without all of my usual electronic accompaniment, but we're both incredibly proud of how it turned out. I cannot thank her and my other friends enough for the ways they pushed me.
It's been a long time since I've released any new music (which, as always, is free to download), and for a variety of reasons both personal and aesthetic I've decided to make this the first thing I put out under my own name, Suffer McCready. Much more to come, and hopefully with many more friends. Thank you all for listening 💚

GHOST DRONE AU FACT: Beanie has the power (of using puppy eyes) to make N do whatever she wants and she uses that power to force him to eat rocks.
Not to say he didn't try to say no. However, it's very hard when this literal four-year-old says "but I worked very hard on it" and now he had to pretend to eat the damn rocks to satisfy her. You better believe he was making the "I don't like what I'm shoving in my mouth but i'm pretending I'm enjoying it for my tiny child's sake" face.
Unfortunately, this dumbass accidentally taught his daughter to look in drones' mouths to check if they ate, because Beanie definitely refused to eat things she didn't like and that was basically N's way of getting her to do it. So the horror on his face. When he realized that he'd actually have to swallow rocks. To ensure his daughter wouldn't feel betrayed by the fact her daddy didn't eat what she made for him.
Basically, by the end of it, he landed up telling V: "I have been digesting rocks for three hours. Send help."
This event is canon to the AU, btw.

Murder drones episode 7 N and Uzi quick ramble, I love them so I just had to let some thoughts out. I'm writing this in the middle of the night after a long day so it might not make much sense Idk.
First of all, N's self hatred is something that I feel has been hinted at before, but him saying that he deserved it when he cut his arm (with a blunt looking saw too) just got to me...
The scene where Nori called him stupid and he agreed was funny but N please.
He has his goofy moments sure, but honestly he's one of the smartest people in the show like dude, don’t sell yourself short like that please!!
The whole scene when they get out of the elevator is so good, both the expressions and voice acting is fantastic. N didn’t really do anything wrong he just had zero time to think about what he was going to do and say. Uzi immediately catching on to that she had been lied to in some way was not his fault.
N always feel like he has to be the supportive, optimistic one. I love him for it but N, it's okay to care about yourself for one minute I promise!
When Uzi sacrifices herself to save N, she chops his leg off in revenge, something that could have been awful in a different context, but it's completely light hearted, a joke between close friends. "Die mad." Uzi I love you. It's just Uzi's way of saying that it isn’t a big deal. It's like she knows N is going to hurt about it, and she wants to break him out of it before he even starts self wallowing.
*edit, I know Uzi didn’t cut his leg off out of nowhere, I'm just bad at gathering my thoughts into words that makes sense (also I was very sleepy when I wrote this, I still am, new episode threw off my sleep schedule completely)*

I could be reading way too far into this, but it's a headcanon I suppose.
(I also do gotta wonder where they officially became a thing, or if they even count as one? I mean they definitely know they like each other but like, where on a scale of "we like each other and we know it but we're too scared to properly aknowledge it" to "we are actually dating" are they? Will we ever know? I personally choose to interpret N writing that as an aknowledgement of Uzi never denying that they were dating in episode 6. Also it was just a smart move in general. For real N stop believeing that you're stupid.)

I tried turning this post by @nostalgebraist-autoresponder into a song using the AI music generator Suno.
The result was startlingly good:
