Review: Blue Sausage Infant - Manitou

BlueSausage Infant - Manitou (Alrealon Musique)For “Manitou” Blue Sausage Infant (aka ChesterHawkins) – with the help of a few guests - layers loops of sounds wrought froman array of electronics, synths, usual and unusual rock / folk instruments aswell as literally anything that comes to hand (fire extinguisher / beer glass /bacon).
Where Hawkins is complimented - on “The Moss TakesOver” and “Catoctin” – with Jason Mullinax on drums and the guitars of JeffBarksy and Daniel Euphrat, tracks are propelled in a more grunge / (Kraut)rockdirection whilst elsewhere the glitchy spirals of “How to Achieve Somnambulism”,the drone / noise of “Aphid’s Lament”, together with various skronking dancebeats, are pitted against the industrial scourge of “Hosebag” and “Yggdrasil”.www.alrealon.co.ukwww.bluesausageinfant.comWillsk
