Background/Info:NWvic resulted from the collaborative efforts between Nerve War
(Brandon Duncan) and It-clings (Squid; who’s also the label owner of Bugs
Crawling Out Of People).
Content:
If you
know the particular and rather unique style of It-clings, dealing with a kind
of spoken-like industrial/abstract music format, you quickly will recognize a
similar approach in this work. The spoken-like/narrative approach is something
special, which has been merged with the industrial sound created by Nerve War. It
creates a kind of sonic puzzle and even makes me think to an imaginary sonic
cartoon.
+ + + :
Just as
for It-clings, I experience this project as a huge challenge. But that makes
the originality of the project, which you gone like or not. I think there’s no
way in between. It all feels like a project without compromises, somewhat
anarchistic, a bit weird, clearly engaged and critical against the world and
society we’re living in.

The
experimental and unique format create an album, which is ‘difficult’ and not
easy to listen to.
Conclusion:
This
project is a challenge, which I’m afraid will only appeal to a very restricted
number of people. But one thing is for sure –and that’s probably the main
strength of this work, it’s easy to recognize!
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
