A haunting parade of halloween songs unfit for the faint of heart. From within the
darkened soundscapes, the fragile bones of fetching pop emerge, only to sink again into
the plangent pond. Most of the music on this debut soundtrack was recorded with a
Nagra mono reel to reel tape recorder documenting an orchestra of found sounds and a
chorus of tortured voices. Sometimes uplifting, often chilling, like a ride on an old
wooden roller coaster that should have been decommissioned decades ago, a bang
worth taking for those with mettle.
Lost in the endless rolling corn rows of southwest Wisconsin, where everything and
everyone seem challenged, Knocker is an evolving experimental project, committed to
dropping all chains of what is expected in popular music to develop a more primal
direction. The result is a festival of sonic short films with a cast of dog-eared actors in
unkempt hallucinogenic scenes.
