Cassette Review // KBD "III" (Public Eyesore Records)

https://publiceyesore.bandcamp.com/album/iii

  This cassette begins quietly with some knocking.   It feels like we're in a large space, as the percussion comes in like it's inside of the jungle.   There is this sound of scraping or sliding, such as through a tube or straw, and this accompanies the percussion.  Something tribal exists within this all though, as it can feel like a blow dart.   That sort of bullfrog sound comes in now as well and this just feels more and more like it's in touch with nature.

We're pulling on a zip tie now as other sounds bounce around like pinball in space.  This has grown to be rather complex and fast paced, though in comparison to other sounds it might not be heard as such but compared with how it started it certainly is.   Light dings now, like bells or glasses, and the transmission can also come through with a bit of noise.   Loud fluttering now and many voices, as if we are at the playground and children are at play.   Through everything else, you can really feel the depth of the cymbals now.

Metal, glass and everything else- it feels like we're spiraling out of control now.  Voices feel like they're coming through high pitched and sped up as we circle the drain.   A ringing now sort of brings out that trance as the sound surrounding it is dying down.   Sticks are banging now with those JAWS dramatic strings behind them.   The rattling of glass once again picks things back up.  Frequency whirrs come in now.  Louder now, it feels like a call of the wild and then we get these sharp dings.  

The sound becomes garbled, like trying to speak underwater, and then the dings lead it into this glitch repeat pattern.  It feels like there are record scratches now, as the drama builds.   This back and forth creaking noise almost sounds like it's saying "father" and then we end up with this static filled radio transmission sound.   We're slowly going down that expanding tube now.  Footsteps.    A slow beeping comes through like a bee and then scattered percussion shots.  Slow pops and a little bit of that ringing darkness.  Whirrs and Wall-E sounds bring this side gradually to a close. 

On the flip side we open with some creaking, a little bit of those intense JAWS strings, the sounds like chairs moving and then wind chimes as well.  There are dings and moans like a wild animal which might also just be a trumpet.   A slow rumbling now makes it feel like we're beginning to pick up the pace to where someone is running.   Percussion dings like water dropping into a sink and it also feels like the sound of a balloon expanding and making that sound it does when you rub the rubber of it on some other surface.  

Static comes through now and this is beginning to feel like a failed transmission.  Quieting down now to mumbles and brief hints of glass.   Bottles are rolling around during this percussion lull.  A little bit of a scraping whirr and then a bell rings as if we're late for class.  Wobbly.  This feels like we're walking a tightrope now and we're about to lose our balance.   Money sounds as if it is pouring out now, like we just won quarters from a slot machine.

Sticky walking now.   That sort of harsh tone comes through now like whale sounds.  Words can be heard spoken behind all of this now, but I'm unsure as to what they are actually saying.  Louder tones cut through like lightsabers now and then the record scratches.   The percussion is growing rowdy now as well.   There is a bit of that expanding sound now and then the croaking like a frog being stretched out.  

This just feels like that creaking now as if we're walking across some old wooden bridge which is going to break and fall thousands of feet down into the bottom of the canyon after we cross over it.  Space sounds like Pac-Man come through as well.   A lot of banging and that electro-trill come through as well.  Bells ring in a church way now.   A nice back and forth sound winds us down as the bells come in one last time to close out the cassette.
