About This Release:

'Female on Peripheral Records, was the first of two LPs released in 2013 by Sweden's 'Altar of Flies', the noise / experimental project of Mattias Gustafsson. Both LPs, Female and Rabbit Hole, flew mostly under the radar, but offeref up two of the year's finest noise releases. Playing a style of noise that alternates between harsh and ethereal, Gustafsson's music sounds like it would be at home on Ultra Eczema. The sounds are comprised from a mixture of tape manipulation, field-recordings, and electronics that create a atmosphere of unease. Drones unfold, overlayed with scrapes and screeches and that shift, never leaving a constant feel, simultaneously building and negating tension. The 15-minute closing track "100511" finally gives the listener release, bleeding into a more straight forward noise noise track that never becomes too harsh while still flirting with HNW, until Gustafsson strips it away and the track degrades into the sounds of a woman moaning and a baby's cries (can anyone guess the symbolism there?). Female shows Altar of Flies at it's most Industrial, using it's soundscaping much like the 'Eraserhead' soundtrack, while creating an album Gustafsson professes to be deeply personal.'
