GRIDFAILURE: “Cut The Hard Line” Streaming Via Factory Worker Media

New York solo outfit GRIDFAILURE will issue the demoralizing Scathed album next week through DIY dark ambient/noise label Darker Days Ahead. Experimental music/arts/photography platform Factory Worker Media is streaming the grinding “Cut The Hard Line,” one of the more abstract/ambient noise-based tracks from Scathed.

GRIDFAILURE’s unpredictable powerdementia hits hard on Scathed, the album’s paranoia-inducing atmospheres surrounding punishing vocal torrents which writhe forth from the rubble of a collapsed landscape, buried in layers of eroded guitars, bass, aneurythmic beats, lunatic keys/synth, theremin, didgeridoo, xylophone, harmonica, and more. With fifty-three minutes of material performed and recorded solely by Brenner, whose photos/layout complete the record, Scathed is laced with enough stability to keep you engaged while delivering an oppressive sense of dread and impending retribution from a parallel universe. Struggle for survival.
