Head Wound Sadism – Now Is Our Time CS

Another winner from Ray Xul’s fledgling Head Wound Sadism project arrives in the form of NOW IS OUR TIME. Things start out familiar enough—direct-to-tape meatiness, mono-heavy walling—but then mutating variations start to spawn atop the grinding crunch undercurrent, a momentum that carries into side B’s “Final Stand,” a seething L/R tango complete with serendipitous cross-channel echoes and cathartic delay-clock squawks. Together the two extra-thick cuts don’t even clear twenty minutes, but let’s be honest, the street food snack always hits the spot harder than the overpriced four-course.
