Those of you know who’ve seen SO’s ruinous live styles may know that all those beats and loops are coming from an iphone running Beatmaker. They may get ripped apart afterwards, but that’s where they start. So go grab the new episode of Solipsistic Nation, and subscribe to their podcast while you’re there, because there’s plenty of new and awesome electronic music coming out of there every week.

Heathen Harvest has just posted up a review of Metabolor by Speak Onion. Read it here. They had some good stuff to say!

“…a raucous form of extreme soundwork that is equal parts hardcore techno, drum’n’bass and noise. This is the sound of the U.S. underground Breakcore scene, a quickly evolving genre, and Speak Onion is one of it’s masters.”

That’s right. Boss of NYC drum’n'noise.

The Village Voice is hip to NYC’s boss of drum’n'noise. The feature includes some insight into what the hell Speak Onion is on about, a review of Trigger Pusher, and some background on I.B.N. They said, among other glowing praise:

“Only the Floor Is Rotten” may teem with enough nasty, pixilated bass synthesizers and stuttered tripwire breakbeats to satiate a dozen warehouses packed full of revelers, but the relentless waves of twinkling keyboard figures underneath all that havoc come bearing cosmic melodic gifts. “The Last Thing You Remember,” meanwhile, pushes the noise-as-bracing-assault envelope with a fuck-you intensity, mashing reams of hyperventilating wavelength chirp together with evil-algorithm, bit-crush malevolence.”

Yeah, that’s about right.

So grab the Village Voice this week to get a piece of Immigrant Breast Nest history! And stay tuned for future Speak Onion news, including the upcoming show on 3/14 at The Charleston in Williamsburg and the upcoming split release with Xrin Arms!

Regen magazine recently posted a review of Speak Onion’s Metabolor (IBN002). Check out the review here. Regen says of Metabolor,

“For these brave few that seek out breakcore for their listening enjoyment, Speak Onion is the man for the job. Blending the intricacies of breakcore with the sheer power of noise, Metabolor is perfect for the breakcore fanatic,”

and

“Speak Onion brings forth gunfire drums and imminent doom with his music,”

and

“…but those well-versed in the genre [breakcore] will find Speak Onion a strong player in the field.”

among other fantastically positive things. We are not surprised. Speak Onion is the boss of NYC drum’n'noise and he doesn’t stop at Metabolor, recently having dropped Trigger Pusher on us, and with Snow Braid– a split with Xrin Arms– about to drop, the madness continues.

So grab Metabolor and Trigger Pusher and catch Speak Onion playing for free at Coco66 next month to see what this is all about.

Also, did you find me on facebook yet? I didn’t!

About Who measure’s the measurers? CB says, “Flips, clicks, drones, buzzes, pops and even glitches are thrown together and have things done to them that they could never have imagined in their wildest nightmares…” and “‘Who measures the measurers?’ retains far more accessibility to a general audience than most projects this avant-garde would manage to…”

Accessibility? Ok, if you say so!

This comes just in time to get the people ready for the latest and greatest T-MOM offering, to be released this month, Overcoming Adversity City. It will dagger your ears.
