Label: Olde English Spelling Bee - OESB24

米Old English Spelling Beeによるタイトル。これは数あるOESBタイトル郡の中でも激オススメしたい一枚。オーストラリアを拠点に？密かに活動しているらしい、謎のテープコラージュ作家Charles Curseが過去にプライベートで制作したCD-RをOESBがLP化したもの。レーベル解説にもある様に本作は一聴しただけで分かる非常にNWWに近い作風。落ち着きの無いヒステリックな音の断片がグラグラと不気味に浮遊しています。限定200でナンバリング入り。

'Australian Charles Curse's music is one of the weirdest things I've come across all year. On Rain In Skull, fragments of disjointed folk melodies move across a plain of wheezing chords, tape hiss, children's voices, ambient washes, amp hum, electronic glitch and bits of buzz in general. The contrast between downcast guitar playing and the physical claustrophobia-inducing weight of sound is equally perplexing and intriguing. It's all presented in a decidedly lo-fi environment but the sound construction is anything but simple, as this is a complex sonic stew, unique in the true sense of the word.' - Mats Gustafsson, The Broken Face. Limited pressing of 200 copies, with full-color spraymounted covers; re-worked and remastered issue of an obscure CD-R release from 2007.'
