A week of Noise curated by Thurston Moore: Ahlzagailzehguh + Yellow Tears

Ahlzagailzehguh is the insanely named one man noise onslaught project of James Cooke. He has released a brutal stream of essential psycho sonic missives on cassette and cdr since 2003. Classics such as Black Destination on Truculent Recordings, Disrupting Resistance on Monorail Trespassing, Sole Possession on Callow God, Water Like Witch’s Oils on Trash Ritual, Trashed on Chondritic Sound as well as two LPs on Hospital Productions and a double 7” on Razors And Medicine have put Ahlzagailzehguh in the pantheon of true contemporary harsh noise maniacs. He also runs his own label empire called Collapsed Hole. His live sets are dangerous.

Yellow Tears is the trio of Frank Ludovico, Jeremy Nissan and Ryan Woodhall. Nissan and Woodhall are infamous for their duo Halflings who would absolutely destroy live with displays of sweaty, grinding sex-sick noise hell. Yellow Tears is perhaps less physically rambunctious but as a force of savage gore-sonics it is excellent. Only together for a couple of years they have released incendiary cassettes and cdrs on Accreton Disk, Collapsed Hole and an insane LP on Hospital Productions called The Pissmop. Not to be missed.
