Review by Paul Ciacci

Alright, let’s dive into Winters In Osaka Pyrrhic Thanatology Monger by… uh, yeah, the band with the same name as the album. It’s one of those records that feels like it crawled out of some dark corner of the internet in 2009 and just kinda sat there, daring you to press play. Released under Fusty Cunt (yeah, I know), this thing is a wild mix of noise and minimal electronic vibes. If you’re into stuff that makes your ears feel weird but also kinda intrigued, this might be your jam. First off, can we talk about the track “Good Mourning”? What even is that title? Is it supposed to sound sarcastic? Depressing? Both? Either way, it works. The song itself starts off all quiet and brooding, like someone tiptoeing through an abandoned building. Then BAM—it hits you with this wall of staticky noise that feels like your headphones are staging a rebellion against your eardrums. But here’s the kicker: right when you think it’s gonna lose control completely, it pulls back into these sparse, almost meditative beats. It’s like chaos having a staring contest with calmness—and neither side wins. You remember tracks like this because they mess with your brain without being boring. Another standout for me was—you guessed it—whatever the second track is called (honestly, I forgot). This one felt less abrasive and more hypnotic, like if Philip Glass decided to make glitchy mood music for insomniacs. There’s something about how A. Jennings, J. Haras, and S. Baumgarten layer their sounds together; it’s not flashy, but it sticks with you. Like background noise from another dimension or something. You don’t notice it at first, but once you do, you can’t unhear it. Oh, shoutout to Jessi Concialdi for the artwork too—it’s got that lo-fi DIY vibe that matches the whole aesthetic perfectly. Feels like someone cut up magazine clippings and burned the edges before scanning them. Very artsy-fartsy in the best possible way. So yeah, what’s my takeaway here? Listening to this album feels like hanging out with that one friend who always has bizarre conspiracy theories—they’re kind of exhausting, but you keep coming back because there’s something oddly compelling about them. And honestly, isn’t that what good experimental music should do? Screw it, I’m gonna go listen to “Good Mourning” again while staring blankly at my ceiling fan. Recommend if you hate predictability.
