Qitsch No Shame LP
Second LP from Schaffhausen, Switzerland’s QITSCH. Eleven tracks of wall-of-sound layered synths with phaser and tremolo, vocals soaked in reverb, and fairly unaffected bass and a standard acoustic drum kit, paired with this otherwise very electronic, ambient soundscape. Vast, feedback-laden grooves propel the album forward in mid-tempo stride with an oppressive, grayscale shimmer, often slowing further on songs like “The Smile on Your Lips.” For fans of the more experimental SONIC YOUTH tracks.
