Cipher Productions

The trio of Chris Dodge, Mason Jones and WM Rage funnel collective decades of experimental experience into distorted overload, their releases all sharing a maelstromic nihilism while varying in instrumentation, textural detail and refinement. ‘West Coast Power Outage VIII’ revels in grit and rancour, preferring lines of sonic profusion over nuance: 40 minutes of texturally rich but merciless noise, with due regard for Americanoise histories such as Skin Crime and early Daniel Menche.
