"Where would the world be without acts like Kylie Minoise endeavouring to take the most innocuous of sounds and turn them into sonic weaponry? Undoubtedly in a brighter, happier place but then, there’s no fun in that. His latest assault utilises jazz, ambient and healthy doses of punk before contorting them and adding a sizeable dose of pulsing noise to form an unsettling work, an album that exudes paranoia at every turn. The focus is undoubtedly album closer Princess Diana 13th Pillar Ritual Sacrifice to Reptilian Hecate!, a pulsating, slithering construct, alternately claustrophobic and abrasive, which coils itself around the throat and ears over the course of 30 minutes before finally dilating and dissipating, taking with it a little piece of sanity. Taken as a whole, the album is an exhausting listen but therein lies its charm, a challenging listen that taxes the psyche as well the senses." [David Bowes] The Skinny.

Glasgow-based noise artist Lea Cummings has been releasing prolifically as Kylie Minoise for five years, notching up split releases with Thurston Moore and tours in Japan, Canada and Europe along the way. The territory he’s carved out for himself is one specialising in abrasive, shredded textures entrenched in a creepy atmosphere – and a healthy sense of humour.

His latest full-length is brutal from the outset. Opener ‘You … Fetishist!’ is a looped sample of what could easily be a conventional rock track, rendered unrecogniseable by shards of abrasive distortion and featuring glimpses of what are possibly vocals, but could equally be a guitar, such is the degree of mangling.

Short tracks serve as appetisers and palette cleansers for 30-minute closing track ‘Princess Diana 13th Pillar Ritual Sacrifice To Reptilian Hecate!’ Variously incorporating sections of pounding machine primitivism that could pass for 1970s US proto-punks Suicide, ear-shredding noise and some eerie Gregorian chant, it reaches a lengthy conclusion of elated ambient calm – a post-cathartic relief from the atmosphere of encroaching terror that occupies the whole album. (Hamish Brown, The List)
