Cinchel – Worry
2.24.15 by Mike Haley

There’s a lot to appreciate about Cinchel‘s soon-to-be-dropped cassette “Worry” before it’s even popped into the deck. For example, you know that Jason Shanley (that’s his legal name) has a cat named PJ Harvey and feels it necessary to thank both pizza and beer for their contributions to this 45 minute drone boiler, due out the first of March via the Cinchel Bandcamp. A fine start. Almost enough to make me forgive the upside down text on the spine… ALMOST. But let’s get beyond that. Let’s go ahead and pop this navy blue shell into the deck and see where it takes us.

Both sides of “Worry” take the scenic route with 22+ minute vivid soundscapes. “Her Ladder Was Rung With The Love Of Her Friends” canvases side A with crisp, gradual guitar drone and notes plucked with slow-motion fingers. If you were going to mail this track to someone I would highly suggest using a padded envelope marked with “Careful! Extremely Fragile” in a thick, black Sharpie. “A Light Crack In The Wall” gets a bit more compressed and dark on side B. Here Cinchel places the electronics and heavily processed strings in an icebox, getting the frost building around the edges, inducing a horror-vibed chill. Bottom line = “Worry” is a exceptional offering from this Chi-town tone carver.

Like I said about 200 words back, “Worry” isn’t available just yet. Unless you are reading this on or after 3/1/15, in which case, WHAT IS THE FUTURE LIKE!? Do we have hoverboards yet? Do we have flying cars!? Do any of our modes transportation fly for fuck sake?! Well, I guess a bunch already do and have for some time now. But HOVERBOARDS!!

Videos for both Cinchel cuts are available. Enjoy them now why don’t ya.
