Release Notes:
Do you have 20 minutes to spare? Rosy Parlane's "Part 3", the denouement of his
second album Jessamine, is time well-spent. In over a quarter of an hour,
Parlane moves the track from the blissful sound of the pop and crackle of a
needle on a dusty record to a menacing storm of sound. It's a stunning
composition, never boring or incidental.
It may be dominated by a cacophonous meltdown, but "Part 3"'s peaceful beginning
is just as interesting. Specks of sound flitter from ear to ear. In the
distance, a mournful whistle descends down the spine, chills left in its wake.
It's a warning. This idyllic moment will come to a violent end.
The onslaught begins around the 8-minute mark. A white wave of noise slowly
builds and surges to utter chaos, thanks to the contribution of eight guitar
players and the augmentation of amplified sawblades and shimsaws. If
all-absorbing sound is your thing, the next 11 minutes is nirvana. You may start
praying for it to end; relief does come on just at the brink of insanity.
Parlane ends the track as it began, a quiet moment wrapped in the analog
crackling of an old record.
Jessamine (Touch Records) is available in the U.S. from Forced Exposure.
