Mademoiselle Marchand - Three Cold Winters [Inner Demons Records - 2024]

Three Cold Winters offers up a modern minimalist take on the noise drone form. Offer up three lengthy tracks that focuses on dense and temple-pressing drone works.

This is album appears on Florida’s Inner Demons Records- either in the form of a CDR, or digital download- I’m reviewing the former. The white CDR comes presented in a clear slip- this features a folded-up at the bottom monochrome cover- which takes in the projects name, backed with abstracted white/ grey/ black patterns. To find out more drop in here

Opening up proceedings we have “If I Sing Please Don’t Cry, It’s Just Poetry”- this just under twenty-six-minute track is about a focused & dense selection of ringing ‘n’ rattling tones. All of the three or four tones featured have an urgent feel about them, which initially creates a feeling of sustained panic- but as the track progresses/ you replay it, there is seeming this hovering ambient glow- not sure if this real or just a illusion created by the drone.

Next is “Last Year I Died, But This Year I Promise I won’t”. It has a runtime of just over twenty minutes- been built around a dizzying blend of slighty skittering /off-tone buzz/ bay. I’m hearing a blend of distant wasp swam & billow tone dwell- it keeps feeling like the whole thing will spin it’s self apart, but it never does- it just continually whizzing, generally warping, and drilling into ones head.

Lastly we have “And If I Die please Don’t Cry, It’s Just The Moon “- which is the longest of   the three track at just over the hour mark. One again we start with a selection of jangling, jingling, and distant billow- it truly feels like it filling every part of your body/ mind, seemingly getting louder/ more penetrating.  By around the eighteen minute these become more pronounced/ scarping circling/ ringing’s- towards the end of the track crossing into more noisy territory.

Over it’s length Three Cold Winters  seems burrow deeper and deeper into your marrow- leaving it’s urgent and panicked tone reverberation through-out, but it also strangely entrances & almost hypnotized too.
