Another side of Georges Bataille Battle Cry
Local noise crew drops two CD-rs onto Bandcamp, plays 529 with Hausu and Crater
Georges Bataille Battle Cry, Atlanta’s noisiest purveyors of no wave-tinged post-punk, just uploaded two new releases onto its Bandcamp, on the heels of their debut two-song cassette released in April.
Such Sweet and Hellish Moments of Desire is a surprising new direction for the band, stripping away all percussion and almost all vocals for a series of dark ambient transmissions that could resemble David Lynch’s nightmares. As though the traditional GBBC songs were slowed down to a 100th of the frenetic tempo normally deployed by the band, tones and chords are smeared across the landscape littered with post apocalyptic visions and doom riffs. The audio is just as barbarous, but this is more for inward seething than public displays of harm and dancing.
