endless lust c20
[2005, dada drumming]

scissortail's endless lust c20 on the texas label, dada drumming, actually came out a few years back, but having listened to it recently after not hearing it for a while, i felt inclined to write about it. scissortail (aka dillon tulk) is known as something of a chameleon, tweaking his style for each release, never standing still for long enough to be pigeon-holed. this shape-shifting and promise of inconsistency has ensured a surprising listen every time. no other release epitomizes this more than endless lust, a cassette that demands to be heard but unfortunately is not getting the attention it deserves. at times the recording is harsh, but definitely not repetitious enough to be "wall" noise. voices appear and disappear throughout, many sounding like a fucked radio trying to tune it. the distorted action twists and turns, bending in on itself constantly, moving from one sound to another almost gracefully. this is the quickest twenty-minute listen in the world and is over before you even know what has happened. with its kinky, almost voyeuristic cover art, which has become pretty common recently in the noise scene, this is an almost perfect release. i cannot recommend this tape enough to anyone who is just getting into noise as it will leave you speechless.

dillon also ran the now-defunct green ox label, the outlet for a majority of scissortail releases throughout the years. sadly for us, the scissortail project itself is also out of commission. he now records under the name, ferveur noire, recently releasing a cassette on jon borges’ (pedestrian deposit) always impeccable monorail trespassing label.

this tape unfortunately just finally went out of print, so do yourself a favor and dub it from someone or download this sucker: you will not be disappointed.
