Mossy Pussy - Self Titled [Smell The Stench - 2010]This untitled ep is the first real release (after a split with Torturing Nurse & a few comp tracks) by this Ukraine based perverse & sleazed noise project who violently simmer up a mixture of nasty and sinister: harsh walled noise, harsh noise & mangled/ amp-up creepy snyth attacks. On offer here are six tracks in all(though the inlay only lists four) and all the tracks are fairly short, sharp & sleazy running between the two to six minute mark a piece. The tracks go from the all out clunking, muffled & suffocation crude wall noise hammerings of the opening track ‘Kill Her’, onto the grim/feedback sodomised & sour wavering creepy synth meets sharp harmonic teeth gritting intensity & eerier-ness ‘Fuck Her’. Though to the lo-fi jittering static, slow mo blood gurgling dental drilling hum & grimy speaker drag muffle of ‘Untitled five’. I'll have to admit I don’t usually enjoy HNW matter in shorter & smaller doses, but this really is quite perversely rewarding through-out; though it is fair to say this isn’t strictly purely HNW as elements of sleazed industrial, general Harsh noise & grimly, muffled & perverse synth dwell leak into the sick mix of sounds here. So a sickly & grimly violent small but diabolically & perfectly(or should that be perversely) formed first release from this Ukraine project. I look forward to hearing what unwell & nasty sonic (miss)delights they serve up for us next…so dig in the corpse is still fresh & ready for nasty fun. Roger Batty
