giant gutter from outer space - stumm (2016)
Capital letters are for for English teachers and elitists. This band doesn't use them.
giant
gutter from outer space are a Brazilian instrumental sludge duo who've been at it since
2014. They consist of two friends from previous experimental
backgrounds. We've got johnnie r.r on drums and hernan on bass. This is their second e.p., titled stumm.
Kicking
off the two track e.p. is "stumm" which has a slow burning beginning
with the metronomic sounds that quickly explode into a more
chaotic (while still precise) sound. It's almost like the song can't
figure out where to go and it's being pulled viciously in two
directions. Trying to pluck your brain about in the process. There are
elements of noise that clash with pure sludge. "ruinen" continues with
the dissonance but ditches the quiet metronome in favor of dirty
guttural breakdowns. Near the end of the song the sounds take on a
almost a flame flickering out with metal falling.
Their
Bandcamp and Spotify also have their debut album black bile, which is
outstanding as well. Definitely check out their songs "joy and misery"
and "opium and resistance".
