about

Just to be difficult, Brown Snake Kills Dog has elected to format the tracks slightly differently for each listening medium:

The digital tracks are stand alone and full length.

Along with El Universo, Weird Beard are releasing No.21 in their series of limited edition cassettes with the fourth album from Brown Snake Kills Dog. It's ten years now since this unlikely grouping self-released their first album, Others See What We Are Blind To, with 2018 seeing their last offering, Her Dust Will Envelop You Too. The band describe themselves as "a collaboration across a continent and an ocean. AL is from Oklahoma. NR is from Adelaide. JS is from Brisbane. We have never met. We have never toured. Files started swapping between AL and JS in 2011 when a 'meeting' occurred through a now long-gone metal forum. Real instruments and fake computers used in construction. The music is born of instruments and then crudely decayed via computers." It's a fascinating project and the results are intriguing, the trio shaping patterns of sound that cannot be tied to any genre, often simply repeated pulses of electronic noise behind which some music or a vocal occasionally appears. It's all very post-punk, experimental and brave which is very much to be applauded. The title of the collection sits well with the sounds offered up, the breakdown of society, something debated at the edges of Marxist theory (The Ideology of Collapse), being translated into the breakdown of established musical structures. This is what it will sound like when the world is ending. Deconstruction is an art at which few excel and fewer are bold enough even to consider. Yet when it is taken seriously it is just glorious. The sixth track here, 'Ending' is simply perfect: crunched up notes spilling out of the speakers not even knowing if it is worth fighting for life. It complements the three parts of 'Collapsist' which all fail to take recognised form, yet all of which worm their way into your brain. There's seven songs included here, stretching out to some thirty-seven minutes and, as always, the limited run of tapes will fly out so get in quickly when Weird Beard give the nod.
