MLEHST
– Second Donation – Belief Recordings – CDR, Album, Ltd – 2019.
Today,
14/12/19 has been MLEHST Saturday, I have discovered the project and I am now
on my Third review of MLEHST in a day. I have found MLEHST to be challenging at
the lower (& higher) end of noise. An active UK project since 1991, there
is a considerably large discography behind MLEHST, Second Donation is a new release
on the projects own Belief Recordings.
Second
Donation seems to be built up on separate long passages of noise, the first
delves into the darker Ambient textures the project is known for. This creates
depth and a dream like state to the work to begin, within itself this is good
sound that goes on for some time. Small
explosions of sound signify that change is on the way, the sounds now have a
louder level and a growl to them.
The
noisier side of the project bursts through with ugly, piercing sound – the ambient
sound now acts as a base for this to work on. The noise functions like a wall
of whistling, high pitched screech that has drops and resonations with the
deeper background adding texture. When this dies off the sound just rumbles at
a lower level for a length of time, it is as if the sound is bubbling and
cooking away, I like this, it is like the suffocated parts of the album, the
project did with the RITA.
As
this dies off, the higher pitched sounds slowly come through, as if forming
more ambience – not muffled, but distant. This plays the album out until its
end.
Another
strong MLEHST release highlighting the different strengths of the project.
