Review from 'The Sound Projector' online music magazine.
(released 2020), carries the unappetising title Hard Noise To Scumrise, and is credited to Wilding and Unwilding, indicating our main man is supported by a number of able collaborators on musical instruments, vocals, poetry, lyrics, and home-made devices…some of these geniuses, many of them with fake names and aliases, may be depicted on the inner gatefold spread of the album, and a less prepossessing set of punky diehards past their sell-by date you could never meet. Yet the record itself is great, a truly absurd and far-out collection of mechanical noises spliced up with musical interludes to deliver a startling and perplexing listen. Wilding and crew derive some of this racket from machines, and make no secret of this – drills, hammers, lathes, engines, coin-sorting machines, lawnmowers and foghorns all surface in the swampy soup, with many if not all of the “samples” found online, on websites curated by enthusiasts who “collect” this sort of thing. Poignantly, one of these machines was in the hospital, captured from an MRI scanner at at time when Wilding himself was admitted for cancer treatment.When these found sounds collide with the unkempt music of this crew of misfit players, the results can be uneven and mixed, but when things coalesce they do so brilliantly, with flashes of genius and, in places, something genuinely unsettling. It’s a novel approach to the “noise” genre for sure, and arguably much more approachable than the airless and joyless extremes of “harsh noise wall”, assuming that’s still a thing…useful notes indicate the milieu and backgrounds of the oddball contributors in Wilding’s unruly mob, including the instrument builder Yuri Landman (who did it for Sonic Youth and Melt-Banana), American comedian Springbo who’s also an improviser and songwriter, and Lester Square, co-founder of The Monochrome Set, post-punk faves dating from around the same early 1980s period as The Native Hipsters. A decidedly strange and compelling collection of rambling noise results from all this mashing-up and pooling of ill-assorted talents.
