"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Don’t talk to me! I am listening to Songs 4 Nowhere by Rebecca L’amour!! I want my synths rotting and buzzing with flies! I want vocal huff and guff from deep within the human body delivering garbled Boxxy stream-of-consciousnessings, Reich-esque loop shiftings and cathartic processed deep-brain hollering!!! I want it all!!!!!!!
Imagine (if you will) the real-horror abstractions of Xiu Xiu and the classico darkness of 80s industrial straight-to-tape id explorations all fed in hunks and chunks into and through the computer. Crisp noughties digitalness isn’t the classic medium for unsettling, gothic noisejourneyings but the warbled tape and ominous analog synth can be left behind with all the boring boys of the 20th century.
Instead L’amour delivers on a constant ricochet through form and palette from harsh noise, to goth-band-practicing-in-the-next-room beauty to pure Minton-esque vocal improv and back again all in service to channeling specific and impossible-to-name emotional states and shifts for you the listener! Black and Pink have never sounded so good!" - Theo Gowans (Territorial Gobbing, Thank, Wet Mirror etc.)
Recorded by Rebecca L'amour in 2023 using vocals, digital manipulation, a hairbrush and a chain.
