Split between two new Canadian artists, Four Enclosed Walls (Edmonton, Alberta) and Catholic Stare (Montreal, Quebec).
Four Enclosed Walls issues four tracks of pulsing synths, searing feedback, and cavernous howls of distortion. Terrifying in its minimalist approach to experimental synthesis, F.E.W. bears the sound of apocalyptic dread in sonic black clouds of electroacoustic design.
Glass smashes, shatters, and explodes in the Catholic Stare tracks. As a meditation on material destruction, mangled recordings of glass being destroyed in different acoustic environments meld into film samples and droning synthesizers to create a deep listening experience that shares as much in common with the brutal force of harsh noise as it does with religious contemplative music.

I cannot praise this album enough. This album is absolutely terrifying! The many starts and stops creates this very h settling tension. Each start expands on the stopper idea previously. It’s like the music equivalent of walking through thick fog while passing out multiple times throughout trying to find a place to orientate yourself. There may or may not be something sinister in that fog, but you don’t want to stick around to find out. Bought the vinyl so I summon the fog demons through spe showhornwithteeth
Shards of static & distortion crash against disarmingly beautiful piano & synth melodies on this riveting new record from Carbon and Prose. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 30, 2022
A fearless cult figure from New England's underground scene, Sawyer's no-fi experiments with everyday objects and body sounds are greatly rewarding to those who have the patience and curiosity to give them a chance. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 20, 2017
