Nate Young – Regression Vol. 3 [Demdike Stare]

Avowed Nate Young fiends, Demdike Stare have trapped the Wolf Eyes lynchpin’s stunning 3rd Regression volume for a necessary double vinyl edition on their own label, including a new edit made by Demdike themselves.

It’s the first time Demdike have released music on their own label by another artist – and listening through the 15 tracks here you get an immediate sense of why the collaboration works so well. Demdike And Young explore a similar aesthetic, converging at a familiar sonic endpoint despite having radically different starting points. When Young’s second ‘Regression’ volume came out in 2011 we were blown away by the percussive suggestion running through the album – and this third part once again uncannily recalls the timbre of vintage Photek drums – struck objects, metallic gongs and loose-skinned bass – only strung-out like the sounds of morphine-dosed poltergeist and caterwauling harpies.

Young’s drums and tape-stretched drones land somewhere between the hugely individual experiments on the most recent Wolf Eyes album and the darkest work of Fabio Frizzi – a sound that’s become so immediately identifiable as Young’s own you could more or less coin a new name for it. The album was mastered and cut by Matt Colton at Alchemy and comes housed in a gatefold sleeve that opens up to show a series of lathe cut etchings and paintings made by Young and his wife, Alivia Zivich, with one record pressed on black, the other on transparent vinyl.
