slow white fall: total

Techno mutant Oliver Ho invokes divine noise with hypnotic industrial psych-drone project Slow White Fall for Regis's Downwards label. "A Blinding Light" sees booming drums and slavish hi-hats mix with electric blue raga drones, resonating with everything from Tony Conrad to Clay Rendering, before "Releasing Together" locks into a tantric vortex sounding like a duel between TG and John Carpenter. "Slate" returns to amp worship with sanctifying slow riff distortion, while Ho's plaintive vocals interject the sludgy crawl of "Our Eyes", and "Vein" sounds like he's repeatedly stabbing a live 1/4" jack into industrial rock's beached and bloated corpus.
