It features incredible cover art by a young talented artist that goes under the pen name of EWFUCC!
The contents: Five tracks of pure effects drowned saturated fuzzy noise.
The first track "Lanterns Return (Gunn)" is a groovy psychedelic punk rock jam with a line of fusion jazz that after The Simpsons sample explodes with high saturation and a booming D-beat that punches you in the face with no warning, like some lad in a nightclub that king hits people for bumping into their Nikes. The track is also quite comparable to a trip at the brain. The vocalist bangs on about being unassimilated and getting sleep, a common theme in LP's music. Could also say it sounds like Wavves with Zach Hill... Ah yes, when they played live they opened up by saying "We're a Wavves cover band" then playing two Wavves covers...
Track rating: For a year and a half worth of writing 2/5
Second track "Riddles (AnxLIV)" is as if a grindcore track just with no sign of a growling vocal.
The song starts out with a Watchmen sample of Doctor Manhatten then En Esch (ex KMFDM) yelling "Get away from me" then strums through one chord harder and faster than Sid Vicious but still as plain. Meanwhile, the vocalist starts talking in riddles with a haunting reverb effect over his vocals, like possessed devil child, or Rosemary's Baby all grown up.
While the end of the song offers more chords and a philosophy thought of mortality and fear of the unknown after death.
Track rating; Play more chords fuck ya! 1/5
Third track "Satan Of The Shower" another reverby haunting track that depicts a murder of a close one? I have no clue it sounds as if the vocalist is being waterboarded while trying to spill information to the KGB. This song Takes a darker turn in sound and lyrics and mirrors the music of Death In June, A must hear if you're a fan of Goth Rock.
Track Rating: There's blood all over that whore 3/5
Fourth track "Section I" is an industrial soundscape from hell featuring samples of Hunter S. Thompson, The Zodiac Killer, The MC5, drills, various other tools, fucked up disembodied screams, yet again more hunting rever vocals, text to speech apps and other various samples. Whatever it is that is attempting to be conveyed here I cannot comprehend but it is scaring or just wannabe edgy...
Track Rating; fuck off! 1/5
The fifth and final track "Ride Home" was previously released on the first EP "Decay Town" that was swiftly deleted with the rest of the LP catalog. It's a nice chilled out, comedown, calming song that vibes the Bristol sound or Trip Hop/Downtempo. The song features a piano that drifts through some major chords like a stoned hip-hop SoundCloud producer. With a slowed backbeat and field recordings of a train station playing in the background of the soundscape. The haunting "will Inspector Sands please report" kicks the song off, adding a dark twist to what seems like a nice song.Track rating; 4/5
Now I know why Carson calls his project Liquid Pig, because it's as shit as bacon, pork, and ham. Fuck Liquid Pig!
This kind of fuzzy buzzy music is perfect for fans of Sonic Youth, Einstürzende Neubauten, Wavves (duh), Joy Divison? Big Black?
