Release Notes:
Montreal native Martin Dumais has been an active participant in the
Quebecois underground electronic music scene since the early 1990's,
beginning with the Industrial project Odds and continuing through to
the French house/electro/disco hybrid Les Jardiniers and the techno
project Juicebox. Over the past few years, Dumais has been engaged
in a very different sort of project, the largely solo endeavor AUN.
Using heavily processed guitar and electronics as his primary intrumentation,
AUN generates massive post-industrial dronescapes and grinding machine-doom
that is reminiscent of the white-light supernovas of Skullflower's most explosive
recordings, the classic dark industrial ambient of Lull and Cranioclast, Troum's
blissed out dream drones, and the blackened, formless amplifier sludge of Black
Boned Angel and Sunn O)))'s 00 Void. I was introduced to AUN's music after Martin,
a longtime customer at Crucial Blast, sent me copies of his excellent AUN CDs that
were released on the ORAL label out of Montreal. As heavy and distortion/feedback-damaged
as any of the more abstracted noise/metal magma that has been oozing out of Battlecruiser,
Southern Lord and 20 Buck Spin, but coming from what is clearly a background rooted in
Industrial and electronic music, AUN's mesmerizing, crushing and often quite beautiful
music became an immediate new favorite.
