about

Split full lengths from Tulsa, OK experimental duos, Achy Orb and Paranoid Snitch Radio.

From the minds of Fayez Mansour and Drew Hale come two experimental projects deeply rooted in analog manipulation and avant performance.

Achy Orb is an experimental synth based project featuring live reel to reel tape manipulation, drum machines, and retro/custom synthesizers. Achy Orb produces rich tones and frequencies that swirl around the listeners head while wavy vocals croon alongside in what could perhaps be best described as an unusual, semi-natural accompaniment to their heavily synthesized product. The result is rich textures of sound that are both pleasing and mildly harsh on the ears. A hypnotizing release.

Paranoid Snitch Radio is perhaps best described as experimental folk or "antifolk", as some might call it. Cassette loop manipulation and acoustic guitar and vocal performance meet in holy matrimony to produce atmospheric natural and unnatural sounds. Though, as apposed to Achy Orb, Paranoid Snitch Radio's material does seem to be more primarily rooted in the natural than the artificial. Vocals also seem to take more conventional prominence in Paranoid Snitch Radio than in Achy Orb's music. A soothing, but still mildly challenging, listen. As hypnotizing as Achy Orb in its own right. A little old school psychedelic even.

The pairing of these two project's full lengths provides complimentary music, sounds, and scapes that are in a lot of ways two sides of the same coin. Fans of experimental music will find plenty to appreciate between the two projects' diverse material. Fayez and Drew prove themselves with both releases to be experts within the experimental genre and form. They are also capable of replicating their recorded material near perfectly within a live context. Two under appreciated projects and albums within the Tulsa experimental and avant-garde music scene.
