Haha, yes, like I said, this will probably be waaaay outside most people's comfort zones, but it's a fun way to start This will be the most 'out-there' of all H O R I Z O N S, I think

Sonic Youth actually is a good references here, while they operate more within a (noise) rock framework they have done some noisy stuff. Just last year they did a collaboration with Mats Gustafsson (a sax player) and Merzbow (one of the other guys mentioned above). Thurston Moore is known for buying a lot of underground noise music, too. Of course, ultimately Sonic Youth mostly work within what you could roughly call 'music', this is way outside, so that's definitely an odd bridge to cross.

Nice to see a Crystal Castles av, btw, even if they're not really hardcore my thing. Not too shabby! Funny story: a while back the noise scene got pretty angry at them because they'd appropriated/stolen some Trevor Brown artwork (they didn't know it was his, I recall; they got it off some flyer themselves, so someone else had nicked it before them...). It's the Madonna with the black eye, which was originally artwork for a comp called Garbage Sandwich from 1992, which featured, among others... Incapacitants! Great comp btw.

Thanks a ton for reading and commenting, deeply appreciate it! *takes bow*
