Wounded Knee - Show Some Humility! [Kovorox Sound - 2008]The splendidly named Wounded Knee is an Edinburgh based project who make organic sounding & repetitive electronic music, Show some Humility! Is a near on twenty five minute offering. The disk contains one long track that starts off with a fairly simply yet odd stuck electro rhythmic loop, then slowly but surely he adds on more subtle layers of linked rhythmic sounds as well as what could be the sound of distant rain, overworked wind bellows ect, aged machine tones, ect- giving the whole track a very hypnotic aged and come alive junk yard feel, as if moss weaved spokes are moving once more and rust incrusted engineers are trying to tick over. There’s a great feeling of building tension and anticipation with-in the loops as he alters and builds their atmosphere towards more noisy climbs An effective, quite qirky,tension building & rewarding rhythmic piece of sound and textural movement with a distinctive aged and worn down vibe to it all Roger Batty
