Deadpanist I very much enjoyed Nolan's split with Like Weeds but this solo effort is pretty amazing. Distorted kick goodness with a remarkable dub inflection and soundscapes resonances. Very damn good.

about

Recorded October 20th - January 21st in various temporary spaces.

More structured and rhythmic than previous outings, but still rooted in the same anxieties of urban living of the previous three releases.

Same construction methods as before - overload everything then gradually pull parts away to reveal the final form; the final form being shorter and closer to actual music than the three releases on Absurd Exposition.

Radiophonic Workshop, Prince Paul, Bombsquad, and the royalty of Tubby, Jammy, and Far-I were influences on the process, if not the outcome.

Here's the label's write up:

Following a series of solo releases for Canadian imprint Absurd Exposition, Toronto-based producer ANDREW NOLAN has constructed eight dizzying compositions that fuse elements of super-heavy dub, industrial hip hop and anxiety-ridden synth music into a brutal cosmopolitan synthesis. Black Creek is an attempt at assembling elements of the sonic psychogeography of 1980s Leeds, UK, and then reducing it down to what remains - "Radiophonic Workshop reimagined as a soundsystem," in the artists' own words. The tracks are tinged with a kind of subliminal horror and nauseous miasma, bleeding unwell energies from one track to the next, weaving coldly through uneasy dreamlike ambiance and intense peaks toward a somber epilogue

I cannot praise this album enough. This album is absolutely terrifying! The many starts and stops creates this very h settling tension. Each start expands on the stopper idea previously. It’s like the music equivalent of walking through thick fog while passing out multiple times throughout trying to find a place to orientate yourself. There may or may not be something sinister in that fog, but you don’t want to stick around to find out. Bought the vinyl so I summon the fog demons through spe showhornwithteeth

Twisting, bending contortion of supreme distortion & my favorite work from the beautiful boys. Incredibly, I ran into Chip and Lee at a Coffee shop in PDX and they did indeed warm my frostbitten soul. Sugammadex
