HIDE 'Interior Terror'
HIDE's third album, 'Interior Terror', further abandons traditional concepts of song structure in favor of splintered rhythms and fevered, immediate release. Expanding on previous themes of autonomy and empowerment, 'Interior Terror' addresses and questions the corporeal and immaterial body in both physical and metaphysical terms. Turning inward, reflecting on the world around us, HIDE gives voice to the power of destruction as a catalyst for hope.
Raw vocal delivery of mantra-like prose yields a raging, plaintive wail that lulls, mocks, questions, proclaims, and decries. A dearth of collected field recordings gives way to more fluid arrangements while retaining a scathing urgency. The result is minimal, spacious, and jarring; a distant knocking grows into the pulse of a hypnotic dirge, with drones emerging from shards of decomposed sound, bending and seething through your body.
