What is more interesting about Boyd Rice: His public image as a fetishist for totalitarian oppression, Satanism, Barbie dolls and the Brady Bunch or the music he's made as Non-- hemophiliac synth atmospherics, cauldron-boiled spells of guitar feedback, and vinyl-loop dissections? Rice's typical media coverage-- layouts of him as a goth-noisenik redeemer prowling the alleyways-- suggests the former. Even without his image, Rice still makes music that can follow you home and lurk in a shadow outside your bedroom window.Это именно то, что нужно сейчас. Easy Listening for the Iron Age.
. . .
The kitsch isn't out of place here, considering that Rice respects Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey, who wore a cloth cap with horns like a trick-or-treater and even cut a few lounge piano records back in the day. The same sensibility drives "Immolation of Man", where a sample of a tacky, prairie-grown country guitar tune is unevenly looped into complete nuisance, along with an untitled track of an Old West player piano collapsing into an autistic fit. Not for the meek.
