ERSTLAUB - Blown

reviews
 

Archive.org // March 31, 2006

Anyone who suggests that drones are boring and are just smug exercises in self-similarity need to listen to Dave Fyans’ “Blown”. This is a 38-minute excursion into varying episodes of poignant drones layered with light textures of minimal noise. The first 13-minutes is an unremitting, densely layered drone colored with an elusive sub-layer of mechanical noises. The remaining 25-minutes is a is a darker, more dissonant, assemblage of drones having changing levels of intensity and still allowing the ghosts of mechanical noises to float almost imperceptibly below the surface.
