The Flenser has been an incredibly reliable merchant in the world of sonic satisfaction for a long time now and I don't think any of that is going to change moving forward—Music begrimed in reverb and a penchant to delve into strange territory will always have a home here.
And with that Midwife, both begrimed in reverb and strange in its own right. Madeline Johnston commits her dissonance through a musical cloth which has been woven through threads of magnificently bleak guitar tones that often give way into something beautiful and dark with the help of a thick atmosphere of reverb, feedback and warm ambiance. Often serene and calm but with an omniscient feeling of dread and malaise. I don't think its through way of self-deprecation or a fatalistic outlook that Madeline chooses her austere landscape but through way of her own self-critique and disenchanted mindset when it comes to life's many riddles and follies. For fans of Sister Grotto, Planning for Burial, Lightning Bug, Drowse and Whirr.
