*100 copies limited edition* Noise. Ritual. Performance. Transformation. Two of experimental music’s most uncompromising voices — Clang Quartet and Crank Sturgeon — collide in a brand-new split release that drags listeners deep into the unpredictable wilderness of sound.
For decades, both Clang Quartet (North Carolina’s Scotty Irving) and Crank Sturgeon (the ever-morphing project of Matt Anderson) have built reputations for visceral, unhinged, and deeply theatrical approaches to noise. Now, on a single split recording, their methods converge — not by blending, but by sparking friction, contrast, and dialogue.
Clang Quartet delivers performances that fuse spiritual urgency with physical intensity, where percussion breaks apart into landscapes of feedback and ritualistic resonance. His contribution here underscores his unique standing as both a noise artist and a transformative presence, turning chaos into testimony. Crank Sturgeon, known for his absurdist energy, dadaist humor, and fearless pursuit of sonic challenge, counters with abrasive textures, surreal vocal fragments, and collisions of electronics that stretch the very definition of "composition."
