bcp003 - it-clings vs pneumatic detach - the all too logical descent into madness
If words are a weapon then Canada's it-clings is a one man arsenal of mass destruction. Never before has the truth been laid bare with such complex and honest emotions. When this spoken wordcore artist reaches into the depths of his soul he dishes out the harsh reality that lies within.
Juxtaposing a very personal perspective with one that is fictionally extreme, "the all too logical descent into madness" is a reinvention of the archetypal industrial album. With a cynicism that borders on paranoia and psychopathy, this concept album drives the nail of truth home into the surface of all that we deem trivial and mundane, and all that we casually choose to ignore. Searching past the banality of existence it is a stark look at the world where the only correct conclusions, the only logical conclusions are those of utter madness. And where does the blame for this insanity lie? It lies within everything and everyone. This is perhaps the angriest album you will ever hear.
Then whom do you need to help deliver such gospel? At this point in steps Boston's own underground industrial legend Pneumatic Detach. With crushing brutality the relentless barrage assaults the listener, but this is an assault of technical awe-inspiring rhythm and electronic structure. These are percision beats that act as the proverbial hammer to drive forward the vocal offensive. Expectations of what makes an industrial album must be put aside. What remains is a perfect blend of cruelty and humour that will surely go over the heads of most people. A perfect blend of pretentiousness and self mockery. A perfect blend of nihilism and common sense. A perfect blend of all that is wrong with industrial with all that is right. In this, their first full length collaboration, it-clings and pneumatic detach compliment each other perfectly and deliver mercilessly on target. You have been warned....

it-clings is the spoken word project of bugs crawling out of people founder, Squid. With no actual musical talent of his own, but armed with a lot of anger, contempt and imagination, he has somehow found the secret loop-hole to industrial fame: inject well-written, nilhistically driven angst into the musical arteries of as many industrial artists as possible. In addition to appearing on random tracks, it-clings also sluts himself to artists in a live show environment, yelling and screaming over their music.
it-clings began April 12th, 2003, even though no one knew it at the time. Squid was spurred into a tediously long, angry rant by Pneumatic Detach , on the final night of the Saturation Bombing 2 concert series. Squid's foul-mouthed aggression and hostility impressed Pneumatic Detach's Justin Brink so much that he invited Squid to write and perform a rant with Pneumatic Detach at the next Rhode Island Noise Festival, slated for August 21st, 2004. The text was written and hopes were high, however its brilliant, subtle cruelty humour and wit were lost due to an incredibly poor and drunken performance by Squid. Not one to let such shame and humiliation get him down, Squid redoubled his efforts and made his debut performance as it-clings, with pneumatic detach, at Montreal's C.O.M.A 2 festival. Its reception, combined with the absence of people yelling 'get off the stage' made up for the past indiscretion.
Since then, it-clings has performed with s:cage, dym, Fractured, and prospero.
pneumatic detach - vis.cer.a features the track mindless brutal apparatus with text written and performed by it-clings.
