Foul - An Imbalance Of Serotonin [Bane Records - 2013]

“An Imbalance Of Serotonin” is a just a under half-an-hour excise in intense, ultra thick & unrelenting walled noise from this veteran West Virginia based project. The release appears on the projects own Bane Records label, and comes in the form of a free download.

This extremely dense wall is built around the following: a thick line of  low-to-mid ranged worming ‘n’ burrowing static, two thinner lines  of jittering 'n' juddering static grain, hints at slightly rumbling & churning thicker casted  noise matter, and possible a few other static bound sub-tones that dart in & out of the ‘wall’.  This track truly is a prime example of full & dense ‘wall-making’- the 'wall' starts off extremely thick & overloaded, and really it never deviates from this. I guess you’d say this is mainly a fairly fixed & very firm bit of HNW, but from time to time I’m sure there is some movement with-in the sub-tones.

I guess the best way to try & discribe the track is that it’s the audio equivalent of putting your head fully into either a overpopulated wasp nest, or ant hill- which also just happens to be engulfed in dense roasting fire too.  The ‘wall’ very effectively enclosures your sonic sensors complete and utterly, but also the ‘wall’ still mangers to keep both it’s searing urgency & sonic entrancement though-out.

This release can be downloaded via the link on the projects Discog page here. All told this is a most satisfying intense & overloaded slice of HNW, and I do hope one day it will get a full & physical release, along with the other download only titles that Foul has put out over the last two or three years.
