Defense Mechanism

New CIRCUIT WOUND release on Rainbow Bridge Recordings. Check it, its a weird one.

Circuit Wound - Defense Mechanism c47 - RB-072

If you are remotely familiar with Circuit Wound's diverse make of noise as heard on the Perceptual Distortions, Density And Assimilation or Cherry Point/Circuit Wound split releases, prepare to be pleasantly confused. This is one of Jay Howard's most experimental releases to date. So different, in fact, he considered not even using the Circuit Wound title for this tape (although I convinced him otherwise). Rainbow Bridge is stoked to be putting out more weird shit these days and even more stoked that this particular weird shit was shit right out of Jay Howard's insides.

Full-color j-cards. Limited to 31. SO GET ON IT QUICK LIKE.

For A little while now, I have been wanting to do a "solo" project, as in, play under my own name rather than CW. Mainly to explore other types of sound, such as doing cut-up collage/musique concrete, field recordings, etc etc. And this was to be the first "Jay Howard" release, but Mr. Rainbow Bridge convinced me otherwise. No big deal. its still very "CW". The first side starts off with a crude tape loop of some wind chimes that slowly gets manipulated into spacey, rhythmic feedback ambience. The B-side begins with a fast paced cut-up junk noise and guitar mangling collage that also gets enveloped by some acoustic and feedback ambience. No real harsh stuff on this one.
