| | | brainwashed (usa) #brain 007 ep aranos “no religion” seven inch single record - no religion
- spitting revivalist dreams of everlasting pain
| zonked vibes from this oft-nurse with wound colaborator; the first song has this charlie daniels meets alan vega vibe... repetitve/pounding lo-fi beats with confessional multitracked vocals and the occasional bluegrass violin before crossfading into a bit of electro-acoustic string-scrape droning. the second offers fewer clues to aranos’ sanity via a belched whippoorwill of sustained casio notes and almost z’ev-ish dragged-metal ur-klang that trickles down into a pool of processed/fed-back ring-modulated cymbals and location recordings with a bit more violin-scramble and “col legno” aktion (the united dairies connections now making perfect sense.) peculiar in the best possible way, dripping with zombie-oil(s)...
regular weight 7” pressing on translucent green vinyl inside a full-color flat (cover photo by “antithesis” & “dartmouth street underpass” cover-artist jim siegel!) single is long, around the 12-15 minute mark total... |

“for some time i found the hypocrisy of "religions" we generally hear of and which seem to dominate the "western civilisation" rather irritating. christians, followers of islam and those of jewish faith all share the old testament of the bible yet seem to be unable to live together without resorting to pretty much constant warfare. this, of course is not a new phenomenon. crusades, persecution of jews, wars between different factions of christians, or different factions of islam are a constant feature of western history. why? obvious explanation stares one in the face: the bible itself. the old testament - root of all three main western faiths is a seductively beautifully written justification of violence and abhorrent behaviour mainly perpetrated by god and his followers. i could elaborate how this also spills into new testament (killing of the fig tree, many of paul's actions, apocalypse etc), but if you are interested, you can read the crap yourself. "no religion" and "spitting revivalist dreams of everlasting pain" are an expression of my dismay.” - aranos |
