This cassette woke me up on the first day of my vacation. My buzzer rang at 8am this morning and I was pissed-off. I ripped open the parcel and the Seizure Salad / Indiensoci split-cassette fell out; I was excited and ashamed. Seizure Salad’s side skidded into my mind with a lo-fi barrage of experimental psychedelia; a droning, rhythmic travelogue to the far-reaches of Disneyâ„¢-hell filled with distorted film illusions and guitar shreddery. It’s a real narrative with emotionally percussive climaxes and mellow, ambient descents. On the flip-side, Indiensoci sends her parsed, ambient bellowing in an attempt to balance the intricate mind-barrage of Seizure Salad. Indiensoci is the not-so-secret side project from BRAIDS‘ singer and it all makes sense; mellifluous echoes of her voice traveling from every direction in cassette-quad beauty and sentient brilliance – it’s all the things we love about BRAIDS in one stream of magnetic tape. Where Seizure Salad takes you on a Trip Thru Hell, Indiensoci brings you back to the world of the half-alive, allowing a return to your dreams, naps, narratives, and lives with the subtle feeling that everything is not-OK, but it’s all lovely because her vocal wysps linger on in half-audible existence. An easy contender for best ~~experimental~~ cassette of 2009.
