Winters In Osaka – “Molded to Crawl” – [Haunted Hotel Records]

Another noisy release from the Winters In Osaka trio, who are actually from Chicago. For this release, they’ve got the help of a few friends (members from Spazz, 7000 Dying Rats, Brutal Truth, etc…) Starts off with a 17 minute horrific epic of power electronics! Complete with moaning wind tunnel sounds and screeching metal scraps. Tracks all start with some awkward hidden conversation. Track 2 gets a little PYSCHO circus on you, with hints of a demented music toybox. A great fucked up melodic tune, with a sitar (?) and bubbling lava too! Ends abruptly. Track 3 gets you going on the subway tunnel from hell. Lots of windy sounding rails, and a mysterious flute. The final one alternates between being in a moshpit, to sitting in the middle of a fire scorched desert on Mars. Noise, in fragments for sure.
