Heathen Harvest

Marc Zajack / Brian Osborne Split LP w/ Deep Fried Tapes

"Here we have a split vinyl offering from two artists who run two different labels from two cities in close proximity on the east coast with a single agenda : liberating avant-noise from its marginalized confines and bringing it into your living room. It's raw DIY noise experimentation that commands your attention and reminds you that such music is not meant to be commodified."

"Brooklyn's Brian Osborne ushers in his contact-mic damaged noise like Mike Ratledge kick-starting his organ circa 1970. Any similarities to the Canterbury school end there, as do any similarities to Osborne's previous effort as a solo percussionist released back in 2003."

"Philadelphia noisenik Marc zajack should need no introduction, but I'll give him one anyway.
He runs Deep Fried Tapes; records as Antler Piss; plays with Sharks With Wings, Blastocyst, etc."

"Gorgeous vibrational discipline on this one with the coils kept in check by a steady hand. The occasional interruptions are welcome and tastefully positioned within the flow, not unlike the TG classic slow-mo 'Hamburger Lady.' When the feedback rolls in, it's tightly controlled and worked into the action in an appropriate manner like a meticulously fashioned necktie. It's mesmerizing, but there's too much action
in the nothingness to call it minimalist. In the final section, as the generative pulse gains momentum,
agitation is glorified yet kept in check "
