GENRE : harsh noise, noise, experimental, electronic, industrial
RECORD LABEL : Already Dead Tapes & Records
Cop Funeral is the dark noise music project of Joshua Tabbia, who also runs the quirky and amazing record label Already Dead Tapes & Records. This is his second album, and it's not for the faint of heart. It's dark, brutal, unnerving...and brilliant.
As it states on the Bandcamp page, ''Nothing represented here is the soundtrack to one's daily activities. No, this is what it sounds like to escape the social structure, either by transcending it or destroying it.'' I couldn't agree more. It's bleak and painful, but it's also a cathartic and rewarding listening experience. Even though I would definitely file this under ''harsh noise'', it's definitely not a one-dimensional album...there's strangely calm and tranquil moments throughout. There's even saxophone on one of the songs, and some mellow abstract electronic interludes. Awesome stuff. Fans of Prurient and Merzbow would very likely dig this.
