Naughty / The Rita - split
There´s a new review treat on the HNW nylon fetish sound, this time it´s with one the pioneers of the genre (Rita) and a newer act called Naughty. The cover itself is absolutely beautiful, a purple/pink cassette all wrapped up in a nylon stocking with a knot so hard to unbind! (I hard to use a bloody scissor!). All this is inside a folded A5 paper (with a plastic cover) with info inside.
Side A of the tape starts off with Rita, harsh chunky and pulsating floods of distorted bass-driven noise hypnotic wall surround the listener. Feels like getting all wrapped up in a steel blanket of pure sound. At times small reminders of something "hidden" behind this wall shows it faces from time to time, again it might be the hypnotic elements working its way into my mind. At other times random acts of minimal distorted sounds jump in and out, but still, the recording maintains it´s static power. This is the second release I have bought/heard with Rita, and it still rocks my mind.
Side B with Naughty works it´s way in a lot more ambient noise wall approach. A lot thicker and woolen in sound, with notes of a cellar-like-reverb in the background of the recording.
