Third Kill by Threeonameathook: A Noise-Fueled Sonic Adventure
Alright, let’s talk about Third Kill, the 2014 album from Threeonameathook. If you’re into electronic music but crave something that feels like it’s breaking rules just for fun, this one’s for you. Released under Deadline Recordings and hailing from the US, this album dives headfirst into the Noise genre with two epic tracks: “Third Kill (Part 1)” and “Third Kill (Part 2).” Yeah, they didn’t overthink the naming, but honestly? The music speaks louder than any title could.
First up, “Third Kill (Part 1)” is chaotic in the best way possible. It’s not just noise—it’s layered noise. You can tell there’s thought behind the madness. There’s this moment around the halfway mark where everything drops out except for this eerie high-pitched tone that sounds like your TV trying to whisper secrets at 3 AM. It stuck with me because it felt so unsettling yet kinda beautiful? Like, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to turn it off or crank the volume. That contrast kept me hooked.
Then there’s “Third Kill (Part 2),” which feels like the rebellious sibling of Part 1. It starts off quieter, almost teasing you, before exploding into this wall of sound that hits hard. About three minutes in, there’s this pulsing beat that emerges from the chaos, and suddenly it’s almost danceable—like, if robots ever threw raves in abandoned warehouses, this would be the anthem. Weirdly enough, it made me laugh out loud while listening late at night. Not many albums can pull off making you feel both anxious and amused at the same time.
What’s wild about Third Kill is how unapologetically raw it feels. This isn’t background music; it demands your attention. Some might call it messy, but I think that’s the point. It’s like staring at an abstract painting—you don’t always get it right away, but once you do, it sticks with you.
Honestly, after spinning this album a few times, I found myself wondering what kind of person listens to this on repeat. Are they plotting world domination? Or maybe just really into DIY electronics? Either way, respect.
So yeah, give Third Kill a shot if you’re looking for something different. Just don’t blame me if your neighbors start giving you strange looks.
