White Saucer/Currer Bells
Split
Dungeon Taxis #15
Cassette
£8.99
Excellent split cassette with the Auckland, NZ duo White Saucer’s side possessed of a quiet majesty that combines hissy rattlesnake percussion with thin wraiths of electronics and a subtly unravelling compositional style. The music feels closer to the work of Son Of Earth or even Bernhard Gunter than any concept of ‘NZ noise’, with sonics that operate at the very fringes of legibility and with an unnerving, invasive aspect that is particularly psychedelic. Currer Bells is cover for the duo of NZ sound artist Tim Coster and Angeline Chirnside and they play a very minimal form of electroacoustic improvisation that ranges from In Camera-style bell tones and drones through melancholy low-key computer music.

s/t
Dungeon Taxis #17
Cassette
£8.99
Great cassette from this NZ duo who use junk, Dictaphones, percussion and vocals to create a kind of fractured vocal-led music that would detour choral masses and frail almost-song into zones of illogic breakdown. With tapes speeding up and slowing down, voids of chaotic microphone noise and sudden ascensions of Yma Sumac-via-Takehisa Kosugi style vocalese this is one of the weirdest and most inexplicably affecting of the Dungeon Taxis output to date. Recommended.
