SKIN - unknown [excerpt]

Monday Penance is a new series promising a "monthly evening of noise harsh electronic experimental bliss". (And, equally importantly, a promised early start so you're not out too late on a Monday.) Also an excellent introduction to a prolific artist previously unknown to me. This brief set started with some calming, floating ambiance before turning to darker territory, rock tumbler skrch-ings provided by a microphone rubbed against clothing and looped before ending with some anguished lyrics — "This is a hell between you and me."

[Monday Penance returns to the Buddha next week (July 31st) with a night featuring Starpilot, Demi-Mal, Beard Closet and Esther Splett.]
