Insects With Tits - Untitled

Artist: Insects With Tits
Release: Untitled
Label: 804 Noise
Year: 2007
Format: 5" CDr
Tracks: 11
TRT: 17:07

Insects with Tits is Roger Smith (Chefkirk) & Kenneth Yates (Harm Stryker & Caustic Castle), both of Virginia. This is my first introduction to hearing this project and it's more on the side of Caustic Castle than Chefkirk, as for as style of noise. There are 11 tracks, half under a minute, for a short EP length that could fit on a 3" if they wanted to.


Each track has it's own unique style to it but the sounds run the same throughout each track, as pointed in the insert, this was a one track take with no overdubs, mastering, or synths. I won't go track by track then since it just is one broken up track but it opens up with a high pitched squeal with a bleep and rip here or there for a short 26 seconds and into the next track smoothly. There are a lot of high pitches glitches, rips and shreds with some great delay patterns at times. Track #3 gets into some heavy noise near the end, as well as track #7, which is the longest at 6:49. Track #7 is the best part overall for me because it's not to high pitched and there's great variation and range during the whole track. Track #9 features some great bass as well, which I loved.

The CDr is packaged in a DVD slimcase with a paper insert and the cover art is printed on high quality paper with a textured type image on it. It's tough to review this type of noise as high pitches are not my favorite genre, but it is rewarding to hear something different for once and I do like this release a lot for it production and quality. 804noise are putting out some good releases and this is one of them, especially if you like this style and the two artists involved.
