The next release also comes a bit late to the table. But it definitely aged well since June last year. “Tape Bleed 001 VA [Noise Bleed]“ on the Berlin label Pure Hate Trax is a pretty broad approach towards distortion. While the first tracks fall into noisy, ambient sound textures, other tracks work more excessively with kickdrums, blending industrial with even more industrial – fast and slow.

It seriously is an excellent composition with a well-crafted build up. The tracks sit great on this release, regardless of their very different speed, rhythms and level of creative destruction. Sure, it’s not super easily digestible, but this apparently is the key to make it tasty. Btw. it’s not only a digital release, you can also get a tape for only 6€.
