OUT OUT

Mark Miller’s Out Out project is one
of those which is easily recognizable, but for what reasons I am uncertain. One
possibility could be his vocals, which are gritty and very electronic sounding.
Another reason could be his truculent rhythms, or even his raw drum sounds. For
whatever reason, Out Out stands to be on of the most unique bands in the US.
With his new release, Voiceprint, Miller steps back in time,
utilizing many of the same musical and construction elements that made his debut
album so sought after. Fourth, the initial track on Voiceprint, assaults
the listener with brutal rhythms and abrasive percussion. The Attic has
a looped dropping sequence pattern and a very unexpected break in the middle,
which catches me off guard every time. Blanc Says sounds like it could
be a really good song, but due to an deep scratch on my disc, this 6 minute song
only plays out for about 1 minute before it skips ahead to the next track. On
Rot, Miller implements some gritty guitar sounds in amongst the scratchy
/ distorted vocals and pummeling beats. Radio Valkyrie Two combines
aquatic sequences with tumultuous beats, light guitar work, and spoken word
samples. Futile finishes off this CD with a slight metal sound.
Chugging guitar sounds are laid upon staticy sequences, chaotic samples, and a
turbulent beat. The overall sound of Voiceprint comes close to being a replica
of the Vein Cage sound, but while still having a firm grasp onto the
sound Pepperbox Muzzle.
