Dirty Knobs – NUMBERTHUMPER

Happy Bandcamp Friday!

And this time around I *do* have something new for you. It’s called NUMBERTHUMPER by Dirty Knobs and it’s kind of a weird one. What can I say? Sometimes ideas need to be pursued to their natural end if for no other reason than to get rid of them and make way for others. A just really wanted to use the numbers I recorded ages ago, and I really needed to make something painfully loud and distorted. Here’s my best explanation:

a lost, shambling machine the size of cities, all clanks and shakes and fretful whirrs, broadcasting a series of numbers that have lost their meaning, yet must be spoken, the still air pushed by overdriven vibrations, an invisible wall flattening the night as the machine drifts through a relentless fog illuminated by cloud bursts of faint green and yellow light, plods over ash covered fields, animals watch it pass with dull curiosity while the furrowed trail the droning, broken machine leaves behind fills with bubbling tar and rust and steam, pools of water with no moon to reflect.

Hope the helps.

(it didn’t, did it?)
