No matter how nicely an elevator might have been kitted out — with a shiny interior and with a calm and collected voice telling you which floor you are stopping at next — to some people it’s still just a confined metal room that’s hoist above the ground by a set of traction cables. There’s a gut-wrenching cocktail of claustrophobia and vertigo that settles in when the doors close and it has the potential to fill those individuals with a distinct and uncontrollable sense of terror.
Constellation Botsu harbors none of that modern sheen — there aren’t even breaking systems in place here. It takes on the ramshackle form of a cold, metallic isolation; a grave and sickening sense of alarm that washes over those who suffer most in constricted spaces.
ギャルちょれ～～～～～～！！ is the second release to come from Botsu this year. It’s a formidable sonic detritus, pulling viciously on asphyxiated voices, frustrated beat loops, and shuddering bass tones. During the course of half an hour, the album soundtracks a menacing depth charge of psychotic techno that’s equally thrilling and addictive, depending on your disposition.
There’s a gut-wrenching cocktail of claustrophobia and vertigo that settles in when the doors close. ギャルちょれ〜〜〜〜〜〜！！ is what it sounds like when all of the traction cables snap.
