cylindigz 3: the rest (noise/rap/other)
Pt 3 of my digs from the last several months. Pt 1 was electronic, Pt 2 was heavy shit, and this is the rest. There were also a few I forgot about that should've been on one of the past two lists. Here ya go, hope you find something that intrigues you. |

Covert Weapons, Searing Prayer
4.5/5 - harsh noise/ambient noise/dark ambient - 4 tracks, 4 completely different approaches to noise and ambient music - ranging from the ferociously harsh to the eerily hymnlike and ethereal. 40 minutes of transcendent, culty goodness from the crates in your weird religious uncle's basement. |

harsh noise/'cosmic gorenoise' - this was a really pleasant surprise. their debut was intriguing, but pretty average tho. not much replay value. this is a HUGE improvement. |
| 32 |  | Unsustainable Social Condition
Disparate Strata of Humanity
4.81/5 - hnw - Incredible. Instantly one of my faves of the 20s. A pulverizingly dense, yet precisely serrated avalanche of harsh noise wall - like a stack of speeding glaciers sharpening each other as they shave off your skin layer by layer. |
| 33 |  | K2/John Wiese
Multiple Density
4.35/5 - harsh noise/hnw - Surgically sharp, downright sadistic techrilege, but subtly psychedelic. A 40-minute hose-blast to the least-used parts of your brain. This is live, too. |
| 34 |  | Fumio Kosakai
Earth Calling
noisy drone - For 1987, this is pretty remarkable. Blurs the line between noise and drone. Two long tracks - the first one's pretty great all the way through, the second one gets a bit boring though. This guy was a member of Incapacitants, but this is a lot chiller than that. A little noisy, but mostly eerie and hypnotic. 3.3/5. I was introduced to this album by the 2025 reissue on Helicopter. |

3.7/5 - not-quite-harsh noise? lowercase? - really interesting album. perfect for when you want something that at the core is bold and limitless, yet also whimsically reticent and understated. |
| 47 |  | Milkweed (UK)
Remscéla
4.5/5 - folk/lo-fi hip-hop - def one of my faves of the year. never heard anything quite like this. it's like these earthy, traditional-sounding folk songs to the rhythm of hip-hop beats. super chill but also really engaging. |

punk rock - not sure why i never got more into these guys. but that new track they just put out really intrigued me so i'm exploring their discog now and it's hitting me harder than it ever has. idk, maybe i just needed to get a bit older to appreciate the poeticism of it. |
