Urine Cop - Stay Smoke Stay Stone


Nice! What a fucking nihilistic recording this is! I believe Urine Cop was originally a collaberation between members of Winters In Osaka and ex-LDOH vocalist Erwin De Groot, but there's no trademark De Groot pitchshifter howls on this nine and a half minute window into hell. All that can be heard is noise, and drums. Well, some semblance of drums. It just sounds like a flurry of cymbals, as if a drumtrack has been recorded and then fed through a whole bunch of filters and pedals. It's muddy, all over the place, probably improvised and most definitely horrible. Aching over the top of all this mess is a bunch of high-frequency whines and fizzles, almost sounding like alien microphone feedback. 

It does mix up a bit as the track unfolds but for the most part things remain entirely focussed on being a colossal, possibly stoned mess. It's glorious.
