Dylan Nyoukis
Pre-orders now being taken for limited edition Carrion Hut LP by Dylan Nyoukis, available June 2010.
Here's what Foxy Digitalis had to say about it...
So far “Carrion Hut” has only seen the light of day as part of the art edition of No Fun’s “Inside Wino Lodge”, but it definitely deserves space of its own and hopefully a re-release at some point. With Dylan Nyoukis (of Chocolate Monk/Blood Stereo) at the helm you should already know it’s out there, the only question is how far out there this one is. This four-tracker of vocal-based flummox initially seems to have been built from the type of sounds heard on bleached-white wards and farms, but deeper listens end up on the border between metamachinery and man – a tetsuo snore with a dose of the flu. Nyoukis makes a music that’s so intrinsically human it feels like you're listening from inside of his jaws. “Carrion Hut” is a meat-mulch of a disc, it’s a selection of field recordings of meat burrowing and it’s the leaked pus of worker bees. Sounds range from the describable (gloveless hands messing with steaming innards) to the impossible (Dylan as a match-striking dog), his range of squelch and rumble unconstrained by bodily functions. Most bizarre of all though is a strand of sound that resembles, at least to these ears, that African choir that Paul Simon hoodwinked back on “Gracelands”. Accident or design – does it matter?' 9/10
