Glue Clinic cs


Glue Clinic

Lighten Up Sounds
(4)

Lighten Up Sounds have a real interesting roster. I have reviewed some of their older stuff in the past and they seem to have a real cohesive approach to the releases they put out. The artists don't necessarily sound like each other or anything but they definitely seem to play with the same accent. If that makes any sense at all. Glue Clinic really plays with reverb. This whole release sounds as if they are almost playing the room they are in. It's pretty wonderful. It goes from almost Barn Owl-esque guitar drone to full on free jazz/noise explorations. There is some seriously restrained moments and some very intense sections but they are all coated in a heavy layer of spatial awareness. I think this is fantastic. Really great work. Nice packaging, Xeroxed j cards with screen printed sections. Seems like maybe on a Gocco, which makes me love them even more.
