about

While a little drunk, I posted online asking for strangers and friends to scream gibberish over some demos.
It was supposed to be a very short EP released the same month.
A year later, we get this instead.

Music by Lou Kelly.

Voices:

- When The Mountains Turn Blue (tracks 1, 2, 8, 14)
A high pitch shrieker.
Creator of perfectly bizarre and rhythmically frantic blend of chaotic hardcore(?), metal(?), punk(?), and jazz(?) with electronic instrumentation.
www.mathematicianrecords.com/apenchantfortheatrics?fbclid=IwAR31-934pxOeJV5JrbqZYUoSK_14FsUxnhVmuhKagVMQBsbXesLTEAcyu84

- Sam Kuban (tracks 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 11, 14)
Primal, gritty mid-to-high range shouts that give me chills.
A golden human being whose solo work is full of sentiment and heart.
swampeyes.bandcamp.com

-João Meirinhos (tracks 1, 11, 14)
Stream of consciousness spoken word.
Purveyor of unsettling soundscapes - both organic and modular.
@caos.neon
surdosmutuos.bandcamp.com
smegmajazz.bandcamp.com

- Nathan Beaty (tracks 1, 2, 4, 5, 11, 14)
By far the most bizarre vocal performances on this record (which the album needed).
Groovy metal/hardcore guitarist.

- Joe Ferrara (tracks 1, 10, 14)
Distorted croons, shouts, and absurdly high animal screeches.
Beautifully wide vocal range whose music is absurdly ambitious and cinematic. His music is masterfully and artfully done. Just...*chef's kiss*.
theandretti.bandcamp.com/releases

- Chris Dearing (tracks 1, 7, 14)
Tongue gymnastic growling and lip blubbery.
Absolutely insane cartoon and jazz injected mathcore and sweet fella.
thesoundthatendscreation.bandcamp.com

- That Crooner From Nowhere (tracks 1, 13, 14)
Yells, shouts, and actual singing.
Vocal based music "vocaltronica" and creator of just cool-as-can-be music that's hard for me to describe.
Sweetest guy.

Orange Mathematics

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
