I\u2019m not sure it is accurate to say that the four tracks of artfully mangled and repurposed tracks that comprise Boardwalk<\/a><\/em> by Grey Tissue<\/strong> (aka Gabe Konrad) necessarily proceed from whisper to scream. Why, the very first track on the release, \u201cBoardwalk I,\u201d has a protracted feedback screech midway through that may keep some listeners from proceeding further, but doing so is highly recommended. There is, from \u201cBoardwalk I\u201d through the especially chaotic and boisterous \u201cBoardwalk IV,\u201d a persistent sense of consideration here, of sounds both sourced and utilized with particular ends in mind, more narrative than abstract, also haunting yet enticing. In the Drifters\u2019s classic \u201cUnder the Boardwalk,\u201d Johnny Moore sang, \u201cFrom the park you hear the happy sound of the carousel,\u201d and while quite different sounds are deployed on Grey Tissue\u2019s Boardwalk<\/em>, it is still very much a depiction of a place, a time, and a mood. The album was released by the Japanese label NEUS-318.<\/p>\n
