Sep 03, 2019 Fucking ‘Bird Seed’, cunt. It makes me sweat like the best hardcore punk and hardcore does, it makes me want to punch the air because all the foul language and foul noise is the definition of exhilarating. I’d be tempted to call this album ‘fun’ but then the title track comes in and crushes my soul. Nearly ten years since original release, Whitehouse's uncompromising 'Bird Seed' is available on vinyl once again. It's later period Whitehouse,.
The album that followed on from 2003's Bird Seed album, Asceticists 2006 was the culmination of three years of obsessive sound tinkering by William Bennett. The album revealed a bold - or more accurately, terrifying - sound to it, full of noise and ear-shredding bombast, with incredible vocals, rasped in the most anarchic and hair-raising intonation on brilliantly titled tracks like 'Ruthless Babysitting' and 'Dumpng The Fucking Rubbish'. Amazing stuff, but it'll leave you a bit bruised.

Nearly ten years since original release, Whitehouse's uncompromising 'Bird Seed' is available on vinyl once again. It's later period Whitehouse, some 20 odd years into their oeuvre, with William Bennett producing and Philip Best ranting. It's also the point at which the African and voudun rhythms which inform William Best's scintillating Cut Hands project really take hold, from the incredible roil and noise slaughter of 'Wriggle Like A F**king Eel' in original and mighty extended instrumental version, to the bone-snapping digital/analog torque of 'Munkisi Munkondi'. Heavy heavy wares.
