About With Throats as Fine as Needles
Beginning with the steady stream of projects to emerge out of Bruce Russell's Xpressway label many moons ago, New Zealand has enjoyed a constant groundswell of cross-pollinating free noise collaborations. With Throats as Fine as Needles started as a duo between Birchville Cat Motel's Campbell Kneale and Nether Dawn's Antony Milton, but has since become a quartet with Richard Francis (Eso Steel) and James Kirk (Sandoz Lab Technicians). They create a claustrophobic, organic web of massive drones. Everything on their self-titled debut CD With Throats as Fine as Needles in 2006 was recorded Jewelled Antler-style in an abandoned bunker with battery-powered instruments. Underneath the ground, the quartet burrows out their own cavern, bouncing sounds off the walls until it becomes a singular, solid mass. Each gently sculpted tone floats in humid air. The music is saturated with the dirt and grime from a million a years of human history, wailing out in unison like an excavation turned exorcism. With Throats as Fine as Needles are your guides through this aural fog.
