The A-side and title track of this cassette is a live document of one the best live concerts I've seen/heard in the past few years. It was recorded during a house party cookout in Leila Bordreuil’s backyard that I was lucky enough to attend. She played along to a video recording her partner’s family had made for their insurance after a garage fire back in 1991. The audio of the video was played through the PA and Leila slowly builds her electronics and cello into a psychotic inferno of wild noise and feedback. At the zenith of the piece it’s like if Pan Sonic (playing at their most raw) decided to play a set with live squealing pigs. It’s insane, raw, disturbing and cleansing. The remaining pieces are lush and haunting tracks made using the audio of the VHS as source material. Full as fuck C-60. (Aaron Dilloway)
