Private pressing limited to just 250 copies for the world
Waiting For The Ladies is a massively limited split LP from
Yellow Swans' Pete Swanson and darkened Kosmische operator
Rene Hell, who each supply a side of new music. On Swanson's
side, rhythmic electronic signals clear the debris after a few
introductory minutes of his signature noise-wash, cycling
through nervous patterns of hum before the detritus starts to
very incrementally build up again. It's in these more
methodical moments that you get to hear a side of the Yellow
Swan that's seldom made this explicit. Largely devoid of the
fiery plumes of feedback that constitute so much of his
discography, for some stretches, 'Self Help' captures Swanson
in nurturing mode, coaxing the rhythmic qualities of his music
to the forefront, eventually developing a kind of noisy,
metronomic snare sound before the whole thing comes crashing
down once again, this time under the weight of a flood of
scourging drones. Finally, Swanson's fizzy, electric pulse
returns to usher out the side-long piece. On the flipside we
find Rene Hell following up on the cosmic analogue excursions
of his Porcelain Opera LP with a side full of hardware-driven
synthetic vistas. Right up there with contemporaries like
Emeralds and Oneohtrix Point Never, Hell (real name Jeff
Witscher) spends his side constructing the kind of intense,
pastoral sci-fi sound worlds that could have been plucked from
forty years in the past, or for that matter, forty years in
the future. Amazing set
