Dive into the abrasive and atmospheric soundscape of Sissy Spacek's latest offering, "Corpus," released on June 5, 2020, under the Helicopter label. This 36-minute journey through grindcore, noise rock, drone, and dark ambient genres is a relentless exploration of sonic extremes.
"Corpus" is divided into two main sections: "Peak Everything" and "Konkret." The former is a series of six intense, short tracks that build up to a crescendo of noise and dissonance. The latter is a nine-part suite, plus an additional track, that delves into more experimental and atmospheric territories, showcasing Sissy Spacek's versatility and range.
The album opens with "Peak Everything/ 1," setting the tone with its chaotic energy and raw intensity. Tracks like "Air Horn" and "Comic Mirror" offer moments of respite, albeit with a dark and unsettling edge. "Disintegrating" and "Spirant (Mix)" showcase the band's ability to blend noise and drone into a cohesive and immersive soundscape.
The "Konkret" suite is a journey in itself, with each track building upon the last to create a sense of unease and tension. From the industrial grind of "Konkret/ 1" to the haunting drones of "Konkret/ 9," and the final, enigmatic "Konkret/ 0," Sissy Spacek crafts an album that is as challenging as it is rewarding.
"Corpus" is not for the faint of heart, but for those who dare to venture into its sonic landscape, it offers a rich and rewarding experience. Sissy Spacek's ability to blend genres and push boundaries makes "Corpus" a standout release in the world of experimental music.
