Skin Graft - Tensile Test c14
A. Red Lines
B. For Tandys
March 2014 by Wyatt Howland
Foxhole Atheism

Cleveland's Skin Graft needs no introduction as a master of contemporary American harsh noise. His longstanding involvement in the scene, including his label SKSK and his work with the projects Blackfire, Shadows, and Flagellants, have helped to inspire many up and coming acts. "Tensile Test" is a dense and dichotomous exploration of  Howland's sound, ranging from the unforgivingly ripping and technical"Red Lines" to the reverberated, alien sounds of an oubliette on "For Tandys". Edition of 55 tape boxes made of baked vinyl pieces and textured spray paint. $6 US/$9 INTL
