Roro Perrot - Scum Impro Core [Twilight Luggage - 2011]Roro Perrot or to give him his full name Romain ‘Roro’ Perrot is better know to most as Vomir- the unstoppable, extreme and black bag wearing french HNW project. This new project it’s best described as harsh-noise-core meets extreme noise improv with a dada edge. The release features fourteen untitled tracks that last between a few seconds to just over nine minuets a picec- but really the whole album is best taken as one long jabbering, manic and deranged noise attack on your sonic sensers. The tracks are built around a manic mixture of: discordant and noisy guitar scaping, lo-fi cluttering ‘n’ roaring electronics, and these distinctive nasally and angered dada male vocals. The vocals rather bring to mind an enraged yet sneering version of early Residents vocalizing- like how they sounded on either "Meet The Residents" or "Third Reich ‘n’ Roll", but with a distinctive French hardcore edge to them. There’s really not much variation or let up here as the fourteen tracks really just run into each other with a very similar mixture of: mangled and cluttering improv discordant guitar, dirty ‘n’ blown out noise, and ranted dada tinged french vocals. So in summing-up “Scum Impro Core” shows us the more deranged and violent dada side of the French king of HNW. It’s certainly an unhinged and blown-out experience, and it’s quite exhilarating in it’s just under thirty minute shot of gabbling mayhem- through I’m not sure if I can see this kind of thing working for me over and over again as it does with the Vomir template.
