nick klein: lowered flaming coffin

2018 release. Nick Klein's Lowered Flaming Coffin was recorded in Brooklyn, NY, on an economic set-up: a Spartan Modular synth and Korg MS-20. Starting on an almost uplifting note with the glistening melodic cycles of "Burning Mattresses", the asphyxia soon takes over. "Peña Adobe" has the panicked terror of an archaic ringtone hitting the volume of an air raid siren, "Smelling The Sheets" skulks rather than bangs, its momentum stifled and edgy. At nearly 14 minutes, the disfigured rave stabs and blunted military tattoo-snare pf "The God In Vodka" furiously pace into a clammy, toxic rush.
