Warmth has undergrone plastic surgery since this album was
originally released as a criminally limited CDR on Belgium's
best scuzz label, Audiobot. Back then Warmth was known as
Roxanne Jean Polise. The name may have changed, but the sounds
are still the same dense electronic forest fog that set
Michigan-native Steev Thompson's music apart from most of his
compatriots. "Leave Your Wet Brain in the Hot Sun" is Warmth's
finest hour. It's his hypnotic, marrow-sucking opus.
"Leave Your Wet Brain in the Hot Sun" is a thick blanket of
unsettling doom. The smell of death is in the air, floating
in-and-out of range like a black cloud. Warmth's mixture of
distorted, haunted synth loops, hijacked guitar frequenices,
and various injections of dirt-soaked piano fuzz. Thompson's
drones are reminiscent of Andrew Chalk and Mirror in the way
they lure the listener in during the early stages with his
quiet and methodic approach. They're soothing and soft, but
totally misleading. Once the eyelids start to get heavy,
Thompson runs you down with discordant, often abrasive,
missives. He plays this dichotomy up to perfection, and shows
an amazing understanding of composition and layering.
As each electronic swirl draws you in closer, like a moth to a
buzzing streetlight, you get lost in this aural concrete
labryinth. "Leave Your Wet Brain in the Hot Sun" will bury
your mind under piles of dust. Warmth is painting the town
with a gang of spectres on his back, sandblasting diseased
tones through everyone's eardrums. For fans of Double
Leopards, Hive Mind, and that ilk, it is only once you're
destroyed that you'll be totally satisfied.
