Label: Fusetron - FUSETRON042

Zak Prekop、Josh Brand、Pete Mandradjieff、Rich Aldrichからなるニューヨークを拠点とする音響ユニットHurray。活動歴等の詳細は不明ですが、本作は実験、エレクトロニクス・ファンには絶対に聴いて頂きたい高内容盤。ギターを通常の方法でない危険な使い方をしているらしいのですが、とにかく強烈に溢れ出すフィードバック音がメチャかっこいい。他にもパーカッションがエフェクト処理された催眠的ミニマル音源等を収録。

Hurray is Zak Prekop, Josh Brand, Pete Mandradjieff & Rich Aldrich. They hail from the hidden sectors of New York City. This is their first full length recording and is a must for fans of ambiguous, anomalous, and unobtrusive sound creation whose mystery is not invoked by hyperbole, pseudo-mythology or fake histories, but by giving full allowance to otherness and seeking beauty by allowing it to happen, which often means allowing it not to happen. Mishandled guitars, unknown electronics, amplified percussives and various layers of buzz coagulate and dissipate in measured restraint. I hesitate to use blighted terms like 'lowercase' music, as Hurray shies not from some harsher territories and melodic (if emaciated and ghostly) material sometimes drifts into consciousness; two things I think of as contrasting w/ the more didactic, 'European' music associated w/ said term. So, I'll avoid terminology and just say I'm very glad to know this record." -- Greg Kelley
