Gutted, Hashed and Deboned: Necroticism: Descanting the Insalubrious By Carcass At 35
Keith Kahn-Harris looks back at a landmark release full of surprises and possibilities To push back a genre label is, all too often, a reliably generic move by artists desperately seeking to differentiate themselves from other artists who sound much the same. Occasionally though, pushing back against genre label is a more subversive move, the mark of an artist pushing against anything that would close off their creative development. Such is the case with Carcass. It didn’t take them long at the start of their career to reject the grindcore label, they are currently rebelling against the extreme metal label, and on Necroticism: Descanting The Insalubrious they were reluctant to be labelled as death metal, preferring ‘progressive’.

Andy Stott – Late Loop
Andy Stott Late Loop The British electronic music producer proves himself, once again, a consummate perfectionist – but it's the subtle imperfections that make his music really sing It didn’t take Andy Stott long to find himself drawn towards the frayed edges, to wear and imperfections. Less concerned with gleaming dancefloor patterns than the accumulation of hiss and grit, he made his name with slower tempos, tracks that went a little wonky, marked by age and rust. A sound in love with the ‘stuff’ of sound, the sense it had a physical surface that got under your fingernails, that carried the marks of time. On Late Loop it settles to a stillness, a richly emotive minimalism under the slow shroud of attic dust. It’s... The post Andy Stott – Late Loop appeared first on The Quietus .
