[coll]: The Tails Are Gone, But the Little Rat Legs Are Still There [Teen Action]

This bizarre collection features sounds & artists I’ve not heard ever before. Wonderful! Discovery abounds on this gathering of experimental sound waves, scratchy IDM glitch, industrial synth pop, freaky frequencies, swelling ambience, and forays into untold weirdness. This is an extremely rare & exciting compilation, one that perplexes as much as it amazes. Despite its unusual presentation it is surprisingly accessible to almost any listener. I enjoy this immensely!

Veuve Cliquot: Hypnotic flowing mysteriousness. Low subtle scuffing grinds with oozing murky reverb horn resonance, simplistic eerie synth organ drone & loop sample weirdness. An atmospheric anomaly boasting muffled low end intrusions.

Pregnant With Mandrakes: A mesmeric monologue about moths and lassoing the moon as a medieval celestial duet harmonizes in the background. Tambourines and tingling Middle Eastern instruments propel organ tones and somber vocals. Blackhole vacuum suction gives way to melodic rusty piano strings.

The Big City Univac Orchestra: Lethargic druggy spirals of disorientation. Slightly uneasy tones convey a sense of malfunction & descent into the nebulous depths of some swirling grey hazy vortex.

Seven Lies About Girls: Bubbling instrumental synth pop with sinister electronic pulses and tweaky tweets, warped fuzzy feedback & guitar grizzle. High pitch frequency, subharmonic reverberating synths.

Homo the Wolf: Revolving tribal outbreaks shift betwixt tenacious orbicular panning. Cymbals crash over trill chirping electronic samples. Discord and chaos, intermittent noise bursts, squeaking, and constant audio calamity.

Schizothermic: Rapid woosh & shoosh panning, glitchy twitch, and slithering sequences schizophrenically slip into mechanistic IDM dance structures. Ratchet machine modulations with danceable video game glitch ticks.

Aenus: Buried industrial vocalizations seethe through harsh automated pulse patterns.

Stinky Pickles: Scratching apocalyptic air raids gently scratching the amber heavens. Distorted blown out beats set the steady rhythmic rate for ominous ambience. Dizzying phase shifts loop & swell through nocturnal faunal habitats.

The Knittles: Dreamy organ piano solos and dual vocal harmonies straddle bittersweet sadness in unison. : Lonely piano & vocal rendition of Fleetwood Mac’s, Landslide? SKIP IT!!!
