Gnaw — Barking Orders (Sleeping Giant Glossolalia)

Depending on how you’re wired, you hear in Alan Dubin’s voice an underappreciated musical event — or you find it completely unendurable. He’s been doing his thing for quite some time, since the Old Lady Drivers’ self-titled LP in 1988, and then more notoriously on Khanate’s remarkable output in the early Aughts. If you haven’t yet given yourself an opportunity to get situated on one side or the other of the divide, Dubin has presented you with a new EP, Barking Orders, recorded with his equally talented bandmates in Gnaw. You may not be bewitched by the fury, screech and thunder he can summon with his instrument, and if so, even 26 minutes will seem far too much, interminable and tortuous. For others (like this reviewer), an EP simply isn’t enough.

Barking Orders commences with a cover of Einstürzende Neubauten’s “Kollaps,” the title track of the German band’s second record, and a classic of industrial skree and clangor. Gnaw captures the original recording’s spirit of degraded, desiccated majesty, but the cover amps up the pulse and pace. Eric Neuser’s drumming has a thick, heavy bottom end, and band’s rendition of the riff (provided by some excellent players, including Carter Thornton, Dana Schechter and Brian Beatrice) is less an attenuated buzz and more a matter of nasty stabs and sparks. In spite of the increased speed with which Gnaw pursues the song’s intensities, the cover version stretches out a bit longer than the original. And that gives Dubin more time to work out on the lyrics’ rhythms and themes.  

What’s always been impressive about Dubin’s voice is his ability to channel its extremities. To be sure, those extremities are often simply unleashed, as unearthly, withering shrieks and howls. But when the lyrics count, he somehow renders them with complete clarity, all while never compromising the unhinged edge of his performance. It’s a good trick, put to excellent use on the cover of “Kollaps.” Einstürzende Neubauten were already fomenting any number of “strategies against architecture” in 1981, and Gnaw’s record is equally fixated on the brutality of contemporary urban experience. Dubin screams, “Collapse! / Our wandering destroys the cities!” The itinerant psychological violence of walking around L.A. or Brooklyn or Philadelphia, with their abject and swelling homeless populations, is registered with suitable anger and desperation.  

The EP’s best track, “Rid the City,” elaborates on the themes of urban life and death. The band eases into the track with some evocatively creeping playing — it’s more a twisted noir soundtrack than a pummeling industrial soundscape. In the opening minutes, Neuser’s drumming relies on subtle cymbal strikes and tentative taps on the snare. Guitar and bass notes edge in from the song’s periphery and slowly build an anxiously dense environment, in collaboration with electronics manipulated by Jun Mizumachi and Beatrice. Dubin whispers and hisses in the song’s gutters and corners. Eventually, though, he builds to a shout: “It’s the Summer of Sam! / And the dog is talking!” That’s clarifying but unhappy information, which puts the EP’s title in stark context. In keeping with the horror of the reference, the song’s second half lurches into an array of aggressively ugly forms, which slowly fall to pieces. A number of distorted, weirding voices interpose, haunting the rhythm’s margins.  

It’s a really effective performance. There is, of course, an unhappy tradition of metal and noise bands that have mindlessly (or cynically) celebrated serial killers and their horrific behaviors. That’s disgusting. Gnaw don’t romanticize David Berkowitz, his handgun or his various bullshit claims about demonic possession and Satanic cults. Rather, Barking Orders seems alarmed by how the most human of all creations, the city’s built space, has become so inhospitable to and unendurable for so many, many humans. It’s a question worth asking. Gnaw don’t provide answers, but their songs pitch the problem at the right levels of savagery and misery.

Ohio avant-rock trio Hyrrokkin and Japanese noise godfather Merzbow have teamed up under the wings of Brooklyn-based label Sleeping Giant Glossolalia to create Faltered Pursuit, a collaborative project. The full album is releasing on November 5th, 2021 and if the first track “Spatially Raised, from Seed to Volatility”  is any indication, this is going to be one of the must hear underground…

Ladies and germs, the editorial staff here at Fuckin’ Record Reviews, being the very stable geniuses we are, recommend highly that NYC denizens make their way through the chill tonight 1/6/18 to The Gutter at 200 N 14th Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn to celebrate the record release of the long awaited SCUPPER debut long player! It is exceptional. So, let’s all get warm together with Some Gauls <cough>. It’s a Sleeping Giant Glossolalia event and Fuckin’ Record Reviews will be there!

SCUPPER’s Some Gauls is one of 263 releases we chose to be the BEST REASONS TO WRITE FUCKIN’ RECORD REVIEWS IN 2017!

SCUPPER Some Gauls on bandcamp

SCUPPER also records for NYC’s best label: @ever-never-records

What we wrote in 2015 about Scupper’s 2014 7″ debut on Blue Cheese Toothpaste: “We’re way late to the fuckin’ record review party for SCUPPER’s 2014 four song extended play, but we’d be remiss if we did nothing. And even though we shouldn’t start a sentence with and, the AM radio tart here is so sweet, it can inspire us to do a lotta things we shouldn’t. It’s that good. Like the Vertebrats compacted into a squeezbox, these four self-described “stupid rough ‘late demos’” from songwriter/guitarist Mike Janson could very well reinstate him as the Carole King of basement power bomp. Vocals get squozed but good, Gilmore Tamny whistles a brain worm that doesn’t fade until sunset and here’s hoping this band - now a real trio - has a long player hiding in Paul Bruno’s beard. Speaking of which, Scupper offer yet another great tune on Paul’s Serious Rockers: An Unblinking Ear Mixtape comp (2014) (unblinkingearrecords), which Fuckin’ Record Reviews could probably surf on for another eight months or so at least. How can you not be in love with these times?”

still-single review of Scupper: “…No friend-rock pathos, this; it’s the kind of great single you might’ve discovered 20+ years ago, when such discoveries were still there to be made exclusively on 7” vinyl. Janson might’ve been stewing on these four tracks for a while, but trust me, they’re done, bursting at the seams with magnificent moments…”

SLEEPING GIANT GLOSSOLALIA has got the hard stuff you want, plus they’re nice too

Picastro — Exit (Sleeping Giant Glossolalia)

Picastro "Exit" by Sleeping Giant Glossolalia/SGG Records

Although Picastro’s lineup, instrumentation and sound have shifted over time since they started just over 20 years ago, the Toronto band’s voice has stayed strong and consistent. At any given time, whether Picastro is currently constituted towards the more abrasive or pastoral end of their personal spectrum, whether it’s a few people or a larger ensemble, whether it’s acoustics or electronics (or both), Picastro (and more specifically mainstay Liz Hysen) have kept the same gloriously dark, compellingly rich tone, even through the kind of gaps you tend to get with long-running bands that mostly fly under the radar. With the band’s lineup over the past few years stable and among the best Picastro has ever been, it’s perhaps inevitable that the often restless Hysen would take that stronger structure and try out an experiment she’s been considering for years: mostly removing her own voice from the equation in favor of others.

Most of the vocalists on Exit's eight songs are men, which was a deliberate choice; in order to make crystal clear how many Picastro songs are narratives, not autobiography, Hysen often pointedly sings from the male perspective and has talked about finding the idea of writing for male vocalists interesting. That might not be clear from the beginning, though; Great Lake Swimmers’ Tony Dekker has not only sung with the band before (see “Mountain/Relief” from 2014’s You) but here on “Mirror Age” he seems almost to be making an effort to sound like Hysen. If you’re familiar with Picastro’s work the result is bewitchingly off. Elsewhere the change is more apparent, whether it’s Dekker himself (the only repeat vocalist) on “I Spy,” Xiu Xiu’s Jamie Stewart shivering through the beginning of “Blue Neck,” or Big Blood/Cerebus Shoal’s Caleb Mulkerin warbling over the stomping, sawing, beeping “A Trench.” When Hysen does take the lead once, on the downcast, swirling “To Know” it both fits neatly with all the other voices folded into Picastro’s sound here, and as a stark reminder of why her presence as singer is so key to the band.  

Throughout it all, the instrumental part of the current Picastro lineup — Hysen on acoustic guitar and sometimes piano, Nick Storring on cello, Matthew Ramolo on synthesizers, and Germaine Liu on drums — gives the many voices on Exit a strong, stable base to work from. It’s often Hysen and Storring taking up the more straightforward, driving part of the melody, allowing Liu to provide color and accents (although the latter is perfectly comfortable with a more conventional timekeeping role when needed) and Ramolo to both layer sounds and sometimes to almost twist and distort the songs through his interventions. At their strongest, as on the stretches of the closing “This Be My Fortune” where they take over from Marker Starling’s Christopher Cummings, or in their Petra Glynt-aided deconstruction/crawling exorcism of Sonic Youth’s “(She’s in a) Bad Mood,” they provide ample evidence that they don’t need any voices to be compelling.  

All of which makes Hysen’s successful experiment here so interesting. None of the guests here, whether well known in their own right or not, stick out the way outsiders, especially singers, sometimes do. Picastro has always been a broad tent, but here it proves even more accommodating than listeners may have guessed. The authorial voice present on past albums sounds just as strongly through other throats as through Hysen’s own, and the songs are as strong as ever. Whether this opens up a cast of characters for future use or not, the result is another intriguing album from Picastro.
