10 Swords, by The Poisoned Glass

10 Swords

by The Poisoned Glass

supported by

Paul Schwarz One of the Ritual rituals that I have still to connect with. This cover of the weird song from The Mighty Boosh almost sounds original... Favorite track: Eels.

Fistful of DOOM There's an overwhelming sense of despair throughout this release. In spite of yourself, you are seduced in to this sinister realm of darkness and mental anguish. The plodding double bass (I think it's a double bass anyway) couples with the keys (organ.. synth?) and a generous helping of distortion to induce a temporary hypnosis. The vocal delivery both pierces and cajoles the hypnosis at the same time. Leaving the listener with a feeling of tortured satisfaction. Favorite track: Silent Vigil.

about

On 10 SWORDS, wide steps of ringing drones link and linger, finding slow, supple harmonious instances, and masochistic examples of the opposite, over which Edgy narrates eloquent batches of lamentation. Sometimes isolating and windswept, often immediate and agonizing, the interplay between his impassioned vocals and burgeoning electronics is a key identifier in The Poisoned Glass sound, while Dahlquist’s bass surges intermittently across the record, devastating when cranked up to full power. Pick scrapes sound off like the claustrophobic clamour of jungle animals on ‘Eels’, while elsewhere and over and over again, frequencies pulse in tandem with an unidentified score, leaving the listener suspended, for minutes on end. ‘Verbatim’ surrounds its explosion of a centre piece with an almost sarcastically reverent chant, and ‘Silent Vigil’ finds them at their most structured and consequently, at their most unsettling.

10 SWORDS utilises infinite textures and crawling pace to create a manipulative, negatively influencing flow of sound that is suffocating, suggestive, and sinister to the point of genuine fear – in other words, a huge and affecting achievement from the pair.

Perdurance
by Jute Gyte

supported by 10 fans who also own “10 Swords”

Le serpent qui se mord la queue, symbole de la dimension inévitablement cyclique de l'univers... C'est ce qu'on peut voir sur la pochette, mais ça serait mal connaître Jute Gyte que de l'imaginer se conformer à ce qui est devenu un lieu commun. Perdurance s'inscrit en négatif avec des structures jouant sur des dissonances terrifiantes qui font sens mais auxquelles on ne s'attend jamais ("I Am in Athens..."). Les éléments electro donnent l'espoir trompeur d'une stabilité quand tout explose. Jordan Vauvert

Mirror Reaper

this song is an hour and a half of tension and atmosphere. the fact that a part of it is dedicated to a late band member makes it even sadder. if you have that long to listen to an album I would highly recommend it katsumashi

There's enough mind-bending, terrifying musical information on this album that it could take you a lifetime to digest. It's one of ~40 Jute Gyte albums on bandcamp. Selina Meyer chuckling nervously "what the fuck?" gif Zachary Gillan
