Bruce Russell and Noel Meek return with their second harsh noise collaboration. Their first, ‘Classical Music’ (2018) was an all-electronics wrestling bout that simulated engine testing on a long-haul passenger jet. Their new album combines guitar, violin and electronics and was recorded in a wood workshop. You can hear the power tools, even though none were actually used. Extreme noise can sometimes be associated with offensive, racist or extreme-right views. The New Zealand duo have chosen to spotlight that problematic tendency by recording their new record in Christchurch, scene of that country’s worst right-wing terror atrocity, and calling it ‘Say No to Hate’. It is an affirmation of life and collaborative solidarity, one of the signature characteristics of the fully international scene from which it springs.
Mixed and mastered by Lasse Marhaug.

Deux musiciens néo-zélandais de Christchurch, ville détruite par des tremblements de terre réguliers et qui a connu l’horreur en mars 2019 avec une série d’attaques terroristes d’extrême droite. Le bruit électrique de guitares énervées et parfois prolongées par de l’électronique pour dire non à la haine, l’urgence et la rage pour résister à cette violence aveugle, du harsh noise inscrit sur le corps même de l’instrument, “This machine kills fascists”.
Mixé et masterisé par Lasse Marhaug. 200 copies.
