John Boursnell Shifting filaments/textures/layers, some ear peeling moments (a good thing), high energy sections nicely set against more spacious passages, excellent! Bet this is a blast live ;-)

BM24 Great noisy improv! Favorite track: Polytely I.

jiristepan A wall of noise built in a kind of fantastic dreamscape. One needs to roam here for a while, unwittingly discovering a new musical vocabulary and then understanding. And suddenly the melodies start to emerge...

about

“An uncomfortable joy, a can’t-be-reproduced-in-the-laboratory combination of rare elements, a new musical alloy, an ongoing experiment, the perfect distillation of uneasy listening.” Dave Foxall (a Jazz Noise, Best of 2020)

『それはあたかも地球外の異境から到来した明滅する運動エネルギーによって脳外科手術を施されるような驚喜の頭脳改革体験である。』
Takeshi Goda (JazzTokyo)

“Gorgeous glitchy stew….” Corey Mwamba (Freeness, BBC Radio 3)


Insectoid ASMR glitches to powerful ballads of weight and light; gentle, languorous shimmers to startling No Wave noise; raspy double-guitar hockets to gutted, dismantled chorales.

Formed in New York in 2012, Eris 136199 is the chaotic-slamming one-person rhythm section of Han-earl Park (Sirene 1009), the deep melodic intelligence and big-tenor sound of Catherine Sikora (Clockwork Mercury), and the anthems of glitch, experimentalism and riffage of Nick Didkovsky (Doctor Nerve).

“Surprises abound on this disc from the collision of three seemingly incompatible notions of time and rhythm in ‘Peculiar Velocities’; to ‘Sleeping Dragon’ which insistently claims to be one thing but reveals itself to be something else; to the aural love letter to No Wave that is ‘D-Loop’….
“Moments of absolute clarity, where two of us may deliberately hit exactly the same notes, are juxtaposed by equally comfortable bursts of raging chaos and easy silences.” — From the liner notes*

Recorded during the 2019 European tour, Peculiar Velocities is Eris 136199’s third CD, and first studio album. The album is the follow-up to the eponymous Eris 136199 (BAF001, 2018) described as “Exquisitely constructed, spontaneously messed-up, endless depth, kind of like letting an insane brain surgeon in through your ear” (aJazzNoise, Best of 2018), and Anomic Aphasia (SLAMCD 559, 2015) which was described as “a beautiful noise” (KFJC 89.7 FM) and “atmospheric as to become almost frightening” (The New York City Jazz Record).


* Liner notes only available with the CD version.


Recorded August 9, 2019, Hackney Road Studios, London.
