The most recent batch of new releases from the always mind-tingling Inner Demons Records counted about 30 (!!) items. So you will see a few of the last few weeks and the coming ones being reviewed in each Vital. The first one this week is one by FAIL, and we’ll start with shameless copy and past the information on the Bandcamp release page because this one aline tells you all you need to know who is being FAIL, why it’s called FAIL, how FAIL makes music and where the name Inner Demons comes from. And yes, that’s almost as much text as that whole alinea!
“Fail is the longest running (20 years +) noise project of Dan Fox, the guy who runs IDR. He has a bunch of other projects, too, and spends most of his free time with pedals and cats. He struggles with mental health problems, and he can’t wrap his head around how we got here and how the fuck we’re supposed to fix it.”
“Dated 11” has two tracks, “080919” almost tipping 13 minutes and “080830” just under six. And yes, this is FAIL’s 11th release entitled ‘Dated’ in succession. All other ‘Dated’- releases were, by the way, also released on Inner Demons. So, IF you’re curious and want to support the label, check out the Bandcamp page and the ‘Buy Digital Discography’ option. You’re getting a lot for a little.
“080919” is a track that opens with scattered bursts of noise under which some lovely rumbling appears. The rumbling has lots of modulation triggered by probably delays and saturated distortion and it slowly builds up before it’s very carefully put to sleep again. “080830” is built on feedback sounds and slowly changing noises in the background. There is way more of a droney structure here, and from the two tracks my favourite. I’m looking forward to #12 and further!
