about

Somewhere in a small, provincal village, a young man has had enough and snaps, live on stage, in front all of the locals. He vanishes leaving behind a pub full of bodies and no forwarding address.
Karaoke Cemetery is an eleven track concept album of harsh, microphone noise. Most tracks are about 90 seconds long, with the longest being about three and a half minutes. Ranging from drone (A Coat of Fire), trundling mechanical-sounding noise (Dead Eyes and Steady Hands), musique concrete (Oxygen Rush) to all out Masonna-esque mic noise (A Coat of Blood), this is a record that packs a lot (and a lot of tracks) into its 20 minute run-time. [WiT]

"Starting with the distorted vocals and rough static of “Empty Orchestra” all the way to the sheer noise and high pitched pure cacophony of “A Coat of Blood” every high and low is featured. The sounds aren’t just full on excruciating, they are at times bits of sputtering vibrations dissipating into calm, as in “Dead Eyes and Steady Hands”, or anxious and tumultuous sound sliding drunkenly into earsplitting pitches as on “Frequency (Microphone Ballad)”. Each snippet of random static, hum, reverb and angry volume is a burst of energy." - [from m[m] review]

Written, performed, recorded and mastered by Where is This.
Released as [WIT101] on 3"cdr in an edition of 33 copies in 2010.
