Concealed Class – No Obituary
In stock
$10.00
Concealed Class emerges without introduction or transition. No Obituary, released by Helicopter/Troniks, marks the debut recording by Charlie Mumma and Matt Purse, two artists whose respective histories in extreme music and noise have consistently pushed toward states of structural and perceptual overload. Mumma, known through his work in Sissy Spacek, Sewer System, and Unexamine, projects that each approach collapse through different formal languages ranging from imploded grindcore to dense electronics. Purse, through Unsustainable Social Condition, has developed an equally uncompromising practice grounded in raw electronic saturation and pressure. Concealed Class strips these tendencies down to their most hostile and concentrated form. Electronics rupture and fold inward at extreme volume thresholds while scorched frequencies and unstable feedback systems continuously destabilize any fixed orientation. The recording rejects progression in favor of sustained pressure. What distinguishes the project is the precision embedded within its density. Beneath the violence of the surface, layers of distortion repeatedly collapse and reform into new configurations of presence and absence. There is no closure offered here, no ceremonial framing of destruction, no distance between event and aftermath. Concealed Class does not document from the outside, it exists entirely inside the burn. The result is absolute electronics, stripped of ornament and left fully exposed.
