This is the most oversaturated recording I've ever heard. It's kind of amazing. The drums are really frantic and the sheer levels of tape distortion make them sound like bombs going off.
The Garden, Rainbows & Happiness (Not Punk Records, 2012).
Keeping up with song titles here is difficult so I'm just noting that I'm listening to it. It's happening. Post-punk revivalism curiously similar to Ludus in melodic tendencies, but as a bass/drums duo. Pretty fun. Also a live recording, for maximum hectic goofiness.
this... is good, i like this, i would like some more
The closest things to it in Current 93's discography are their more soundscape-y releases like In Menstrual Night, Faust, In a Foreign Town in a Foreign Land and so forth, but tonally and thematically, All the Pretty Little Horses and the EPs that bracket it (collectively the Inmost Light Trilogy) are quite close. Tibet's collaborations with Nurse With Wound, particularly Bright Yellow Moon, might also strike your fancy. As for Christoph Heemann and Thomas Ligotti, the other key players here, the former has released an astonishing quantity of fantastic dark ambient music both solo and in groups like Mirror and H.N.A.S., while the latter actually reads his own poetry on yet another Heemann collaboration, This Degenerate Little Town, which while impossible to find a physical copy of is quite easy to find online.
Also, Nick Cave appears on the last two tracks on All the Pretty Little Horses, those being a rendition of the titular folk song and a backed recitation of one of the most interesting parts of Pascal's Pensées. There is also "Twilight Twilight Nihil Nihil", which is terrifying in a pretty unsubtle way, and the rest of the album, which is... disturbing in a less unsubtle way? There are acoustic guitars.
