Bigfoot Coroners are an Ottawa duo playing improvised psych music, a noisy, hypnotic, ominous brand of it that I think would appeal to fans of more free-form, offbeat Neurosis tracks. Although as a newcomer to the sound and style, I am not best placed to judge, but I am pleased to jump in to new musical experiences when I get the chance.
"Tunnels" is their latest release on Bandcamp (available here) and the first of theirs that I've sat down to listen to with intent. Jeff (drums, percussion) and Trevor (guitar, synth, bass) manage to create a haunting, dizzying atmosphere on this 2-track release.
"Don't feed the worms" is a caustic, meandering piece, hypnotic in the sense that you lose track of time and structure, whereas "If the dust won't settle" is disorienting, throbbing with a more obvious but no less jarring rhythmic component, that makes strong and effective use of echoes or delayed audio lines.
While they haven't had the chance to perform live yet, the pandemic being what it is, I am looking forward to one day experiencing their noisy offering in person. I think the visceral feeling of hearing their ideas blasted through a decent PA would make for a truly worthwhile live music experience.
Best listened to very loudly to ward off and/or attract Victorian ghosts, or as a weapon to inspire dread in your enemies.
