Prolaps<\/strong> is the Brooklyn-based duo of Biledriver<\/strong> and Starsore<\/strong>. As sound therapists who studied at the Monroe Institute, their therapeutic methods may fall outside of convention, but rest assured they want to bring you peace of mind. They also want to make it clear that while their bodies might appear similar to those of Kill Alters<\/strong> vocalist \/ producer Bonnie Baxter<\/strong> and Machine Girl<\/strong> mastermind Matt Stephenson<\/strong>, it definitely isn\u2019t them. The duo\u2019s debut album\u00a0Pure Mud Volume 7<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0screeches out of the Hausu Mountain volcano as an unholy hybrid of vocal meltdowns and chopped-and-stitched bursts of noise texture, all planted over bonkers beats that twist their way through untold permutations of electronic dancefloor production. The album reaches a level of intensity in its auditory form alone to match the unhinged chaos of their live sets, which find them dressing in all-white outfits with matching hair and trading off dual vocal lines perturbed enough to make the most grizzled hardcore singer fall into a slack-jawed stare \u2014 while perpetrating some foul on-stage activities that, according to some testimony, involve fruits and human orifices.\u00a0Their music feels like an overstuffed collage of extreme gestures and fragmentary ideas frankensteined together from the worlds of metal, jock jams, jungle, acid house, and harsh noise. Lead vocal lines in the form of screams, singsong taunts, and martial raps clash with the cyborg hooks of finely diced voice fragments. Technoid backbeats keep\u00a0untz-untz-untz-ing at maximum intensity against a web of rave stabs and melting, pitch-shifted synthesis from machines they credited, in a rare report from their headquarters, under names like the Yamaha DMT100, the UA Theta Pattern Compressor, and the SoulNexus Channeler VST (64bit).<\/p>\n

Pure Mud Volume 7<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0maintains a sense of reckless momentum through the continuous flow of the twenty-four tracks in its 50-minute program. The unrelenting pace makes distinctions between each \u201csong\u201d less important than the pure confusion conveyed by the constant juxtaposition of far-flung genres and queasy moods that manifest with the fierce brevity of grindcore and the scrolling eclecticism of a mixtape recording. The album plays out like a conveyor belt of intricately programmed drum patterns and beyond-deconstructed club signifiers that might only appear for a few seconds before being discarded with the rest of the debris. Prolaps<\/strong>\u2019s attention to visual imagery and structural disfiguration brings a darkly cinematic edge to their productions, though it ends up skirting closer to a B-movie drenched in gross-out practical effects, or a demented rom-com filmed in the sewer system beneath New York\u2019s streets. As the voices of Biledriver<\/strong> and Starsore<\/strong> burst into the mix, you see them in your mind\u2019s eye as chattering heads floating up in the atrium of an austere DMT temple flooded with rainbow sludge and bodily fluids. With demonic grins covered in smeared makeup, the duo reminds us that\u00a0this is a party and we\u2019re all supposed to be having fun.\u00a0And it\u2019s true: for all of their cheekily confrontational tendencies, their scatological lyrics and static noise aggression, Prolaps<\/strong> never lose sight of the absurd glee at the heart of their music.<\/p>\n
