This Heat Will Melt The Earth (Baked Tapes) cassette – Dracula Trap
“Noveller is the sonic personification of rolling waves, brush fires and distant bird songs. All of which are accomplished by the contrast of distant chiming bells, primal singing and brick walls of feedback. “This Heat Will Melt The Earth” begins with a subtle lyrical beauty that lies in stark contrast with the grimy sound masses that follow. This release covers more ground than most noisicians would dare to try. This full spectrum of expression is why Noveller, aka Sarah Lipstate, stands out from the bulk of noisicians. As a whole this release makes one coherent thought which is equally effect as it’s five constituent parts.”

Vasovagal 3″CDr (2005) – DEAD ANGEL
“This wee li’l three-inch cd-r is the work of Sarah Lipstate, who shapes two-to-three minute bursts of noise from voice, theremin, field recordings, banjo (?!?!), and effects. The effects are the most obvious — there’s plenty of processed electronic frippery on the seven tracks here — but the sound is less about all-out carnage and destruction than it is about stacking up blocks of sound and texture that work well together. The strategies she employs on this disc are far removed from the usual blinding wall-of-death power electronics one might expect from the artwork and the label; this is more like glitch electronica fed through heavy reverb abuse. The tracks generally have a bedrock, core noise going on, over which other sounds drift in and out (or occasionally just bulldoze through). Some tracks like “Shok” may make you think your cd player is on the fritz, though. I like the use of field recordings to add ambience and quiet moments amid the crunchy bursts of antimusic and noisy earhurt. Watch out for the sixth track “Langis,” however — that one is WAY beyond out of control, and about twice as loud as the rest of the disc. Swell experiments in sonic abstraction and (at times) pure ass-quaking noise hell. Limited to thirty copies.”
