New York-based experimentalists Mezzanine Swimmers have just released their latest album of noise fractured songs on Already Dead Tapes. Â Cougar Opaque finds the band combining noise rock, old-school techno, and harsh thudding beats into a cacophonous rush of disparate, though strangely melodic, sounds and tones. Â Filtered through layers of heavy distortion, Cougar Opaque is all viscous rhythms and grainy textures. Â There’s something inherently fascinating about hearing and following all the jagged peaks and valleys that criss-cross the songs like broken railway tracks.
The latest track to be released from the album, “Tech School Comeback,” twists industrial thuds and rough-hewn rhythms  around swirls of often unidentifiable scraps of percussion and hazy vocals–giving the effect of staring too deeply for too long at a Dali painting.  Everything slides to the periphery and your focus softens until everything washes over you in a wave of simultaneous sensation.
Beats Per Minute is pleased to premiere “Tech School Comeback” from Mezzanine Swimmers’ latest release Cougar Opaque.
