After emerging from a red shag-carpeted basement in Baltimore in 2012, Comfort Link produced a series of skewed concrete muzak albums knitted together with wobbly tape loops of found and recycled sounds, gradually shifting toward a darker post-industrial sound collage style on more recent releases. On Metaphysical Swatting, battered reel-to-reel tape machines and portable cassette recorders scramble up the primary sound sources of voice and organ - ancient reels of tape with loose oxide are oversaturated, obsessively spliced and delaminated, re-worked into skittering loops, crunchy tape delays, shifting waves of hiss and endless feedback devouring itself. Metaphysical Swatting feeds on familiar tastes and tactics employed in earlier Comfort Link works but regurgitates something more conspicuously surreal and sinister.
