Merzbow & Gavin Davis – Atsusaku (2016)

January 2, 2021

I stumbled upon the second part of this collaboration at the beginning of the year so it was high time to go back and hear the genesis of it. Atsusaku is stacked, 2 huge back to back slabs of droning and sparkling industrial noise to cleanse not only your aural palette but also portions of your brain. Its impossible to tell who is doing what here, but this is a solid noise release if I’ve ever heard one, with a nice smash of power behind it. Heavy yet pensive.
