Prangers’ sound is unprisable, perhaps impossible to uproot from the landscape that spawns it.
On Gomp, the Rochdale trio forge and graft a kind of sonic semblance of wire, flesh and bracken – a misshapen organism that scuttles across the damp amber of the pennines. Collected from their environment, collages of local field recordings and tape-jammed voices hang over the trio’s mill-gamelan of scrap percussion, with the whole thing force-fed back on itself through a neat duality of blunt electronics and sharp sample processing.
Although the form of its language feels human, the rhythm and definition is stretched to a point of almost attractive grotesque: de-elasticated and drubbed into a curiously unrecognisable state by the busted motor speeds and over-voltaged electrics that power it.
Through the electric static of Prangers’ transmit, the outline of an awesomely unsettling shape comes into focus.
