Animal Machine is the oldest project from the Aaarrrgh label’s stable of acts, it stretches back to 2007. There have been many releases since then, this is the most prolific project of Aaarrgh.

The 3” CDr is for promotional use as it came with a Kshayaath album I received from the label.

Both tracks are named after their running times, I like the delivery, it is sharp, energetic with a lot of wild hiss and very cut up in parts. This is very much top tier Harsh Noise that also seems centred around the Harsh Noise London label, this, Wolvestribe and Gen26 are key examples of this kind of work.

The theme of this release is how our future evolvement seems linked to intelligent machines. As I drive around, on a day-to-day basis, I am aware of drivers and pedestrians glued to their phones, this concept seems true as Smartphone zombies seem to gain higher numbers and visibility. As the label and projects are mostly based in London, this reality must be even further realised than here in the Midlands of England.

Another gem from Animal Machine, excellent work.

Army of one 2021.
