Hyrrokkin / Doug Scharin’s Activities Of Dust
Sephfus [7-inch; New Atlantis]

Hyrrokkin = Don Caballero, aggression, loosely splayed high-hat height, Hella, avantist jams for the commercially foolhardy, wrath, By The End Of Tonight, devastation, shifting time signatures, cartoonish demons that drop a wicked axe, Race Car Riot, paper cuts on your brain (SLICE!), bluppa-dupe dupe dupe-duppa-duppa CRASH CYMBAL SMASHED-THEN-DAMPENED, freneticism (my word), instrumental elitism(?), global psych-mulch schism, Dilute, precise yet scattered, smooth yet hops-y, time in a bottle shaken HARD; rejoice.

Activities Of Dust (Doug Scharin) = Oxes, take the long way home, twisted, mangled mini-chunks of riff, chaos, Colour Bük, that part of the guitar that no one ever plays, air-traffic control frequencies, rattle/humMmm/cocaine-bump, NZ-import silt-sludge, that instrumental album Jennifer Gentle put out, that album you and your buddies didn’t put out, tight bass underneath the sway of blurry drums, sirens, a pair of ruby-red earrings she wears when she wants to feel confident — in a song, spare pair of scissors to run down the hall with, clinking bells, Guardian Alien, blasted bottle caps and firecracker’d G.I. Joes.

Sephfus 7-inch = blue vinyl, limited copies, \^^/
