Dominick Fernow has been delivering
genre defining
noise/experimental/electronic releases
as Prurient (and via his slew of other
bands/collaborations, including Cold
Cave, Ash Pool, and others) for nearly a
decade and a half, many on his own NYC
based Hospital Productions. Revered in
many circles, and often loathed within
them as well, he's cultivated and
curated a tastemaking-ly obsessive
worldwide following of like minded
folks. The beautiful irony is that it
is these very folks that will no doubt
be the most challenged by what Bermuda
Drain represents.
On these nine tracks, we can clearly
hear the echoes of Prurient's howling
past, but are also faced with something
perhaps even more unsettling - that
being the territory of the unknown
present and its indication of possible
futures. The album, both in content and
sound, is at once violent, magnetic,
abrasive and emotional. The more we
listen the deeper we fall into it,
taking what has been provided and using
it as a tool for our own self
reflection.
If the true idea of noise is perpetual
freedom, then Bermuda Drain may well be
the genre's most profoundly challenging
record since Merzbow went laptop.
Bermuda Drain is a boldly melodic, beat
based synth record, complete with the
very verse/chorus/bridge structures that
the community so often defines it self
by eschewing. The Prurient of today is
more truly in line with the original
spirit of noise than ever before.
