Nqthqn – AA in Reverse [LP]

Villejuif underground’s Nathan Roche’s new project, presenting a noise-blues experimental album. Following the tradition of Derek Bailey, Henry Kraiser, and Sonny Sharrock albums on Celluloid Records, the label is releasing this abstract and mysterious instrumental album, made under a cryptic name: AA in Reverse, by nqthqn. Recorded shortly after Ghostbox Cowboy, released on Tailnia Records out of China, this new effort digs deeper into what critics describe as buzzards circling the half-dead body of Harry Dean Stanton in Paris, Texas. The project curiously explores what it might be like to create no-wave abstract guitar music by a campfire, as inaugurated by Arto Lindsay, Loren Connors, or John Fahey. AA in Reverse was recorded and engineered by David Akerman (Robin Hitchcock, Dead Farmers) at Golden Retriever Studios (Parcels, Cate Le Bon, Courtney Barnett) in Marrickville.A1. astraA2. amaranthaA3. anesthesiaA4. akaA5. auraA6.
