More Info

Wiederveröffentlichung der vergriffenen “Something Weird“ 10“ von 1998, dazu drei unveröffentlichte Stücke des Projektes von MATT WALDRON, dessen surrealistische Klangcollagen gerne mit alten NURSE WITH WOUND verglichen werden !

"Dust Pincher Appliances was originally released in 1998 in a shorter, alternate form, via a now impossible to find 10" vinyl on Something Weird Records, Iceland. This CD edition on Crouton reveals different versions of the original recordings, as well as three tracks not present on the 10" edition. Some might say that anything graphic artist, sound artist, and writer Matt Waldron produces is peculiar, and his work as irr. app. (ext.) is no exception. Each minute of these startlingly Dadaist compositions reveals unexpected surprises. The instrumentation, who knows? A bit of everything really, except the standard ones. However, the style is not a mess, but rather an obsessively scrutinized audio story, aural painting, or sound experience, which is quite devastating to take in. Waldron began this recording project in 1991. Some will recognize his name as the one co-responsible for the recent Nurse With Wound CD, Chance Meeting of a Defective Tape Machine and Migrane on the United Dairies label. He has also worked with the likes of Stillupsteypa and Coil." [press release]

“ [...] Though some eight years old, the recordings on Dust Pincher Appliances are still stunning. The album unfolds as an ever changing drama of Surreal events, evolving through time to reveal startling revelations, disquieting progressions, and atypical juxtapositions of sound. Eerie drones and atmospheres dominate the majority of the album, haunted by distant voices bathed in reverb or unrecognizable events that scurry malevolently like tiny monsters or robotic insects. Carnivalesque episodes often interrupt the proceedings with cackling sound effects, brash trumpet blurts, and toy piano discord. Dust Pincher Appliances is a marvelous album and should be the harbinger of a wonderful catalog that the world needs to embrace.” [Aquarius Records]
