Straight Panic/Feral Torch - Split




OA110: Straight Panic/Feral Torch Split
Two artists from either side of the Atlantic join up for this split, USA's Straight Panic and Ireland's Feral Torch. Straight Panic needs little introduction, one of the premier queer voices in US noise, the project has been incredibly prolific it's decade plus of existence, releasing with dozens of notable labels. Feral Torch is the project of Irish artist Alan Doyle, formerly of the all too short lived, much missed psych noise punks Wolfbait. The two projects compliment each other perfectly for this split, and whilst you could use power electronics as a vague descriptor for them both, here they both draw from a wealth of experimental sound outside of that bracket, creating forward thinking tracks, with each project still retaining it's own identity.
