The Rita's Eyeliner Into Nylon Black Seam recently came out on the Russian Sickcore imprint, a full-length disc of pure crushing harsh noise wall from the Vancouver-based artist Sam McKinlay (also of Vice Wears Black Hose, Black Air, BT.HN), returning to the sort of obsessive thematic material that The Rita explored on the 2009 eight-tape box-set The Nylons Of Laura Antonelli and 2011's The Rack. Fans of The Rita's dense, heavy black static know what to expect here as the forty minute "Eyeliner" sprawls out into a vast field of tactile electronic immolation, but one wonders what the source material is that McKinlay used to create this track. The tearing of the titular black nylon, amplified and layered until it becomes a seething, boiling black chaos, the faint ripping sounds magnified into the sputtering volcanic textures in tumult across the full length of the piece? Who knows, the disc is devoid of liner notes and I haven't seen anything from McKinlay that goes into more detail about this recordings, but it hardly matters - this is primo Rita, a heavy noise-wall experience with smoldering harsh distortion that crunches and sputters and crackles for over forty minutes, sucking the listener in to the obsessive amplified soundscape generated by McKinlay's unique approach to contact mic / field recording manipulation. Heavy, pitch-black HNW that hides a variety of sonic detritus such as fragments of distorted human voice and spurts of violent radio static in its black magma churn. An utterly mesmerizing black fire inferno from one of my favorite artists in the HNW scene.

Released in a full-color digipack, limited to two hundred and fifty copies.
