Impressions
Abrasive, fractured, and most certainly
not holding back is about the only introduction worthy of Mating
Call's 'Hater's Exodus/Foul Behavior' EP beside trying to type out
the sounds of me trembling in the corner. Sounding like the aftermath
of a jazz hip-hop hybrid mangled in a car wreck with an industrial
album; everything on 'HE/FB' is of a kind of sonic mess, with
different sounds coming out of places that you don't think they
should be. Yet, despite the urge to turn it off and throw your
headphones away forever, you keep listening to it, and listening to
it (four songs go a surprisingly long way given the palette being worked with), and you kinda dig it, but at the same you wish
the howling would stop. Oh, and how the vocals they do howl, through
a blanket of crackling noise and hissing. It might be kind of weird
to think of an EP like this having any real rhythm shape to the
songs, but Mating Call realize they're not going to keep your
attention if they simply blast random, unrecognizable sounds at you,
and thus each track follows a industrial-lite kind of song structure based
around a percussive beat of some description. “Phz” is a bit
pop-ier than the others in this respect, as far as calling anything
here 'pop' goes. While I found no problems with the music, it's
blindingly obvious 'Hater's Exodus/Foul Behavior' isn't going to
appeal to everyone, but I feel it's worthy of listening to for those
curious for something a little outside their comfort zone, and
obviously those who enjoy the noise.
