about

"Managing to escape a heavy density of neuroticism through the barely fleeting prisms of dreamy light that penetrate this caustic mass, Kyle Nelson in his Cementation Anxiety guise dares to take a glimpse at sanctuary.

Pretty much, whether intentional or not, reflecting recent times of uncertainty and mental fatigue, the former New Jersey hardcore punkster goes on a ‘futile’ search for solace. He may just have found it in the faded embers of this album’s curtain call, ‘He Forgets Not His Own’; hanging on in there through a counterbalance of both scuzz-y galvanized rippling discourse, distant thundered drums and fear, to reach a more ambient settled release.

Taking a very different path to his days in Bodiless, Kyle slowly unleashes a cathexsis of stiffening drones and course fuzz over six movements of varying invocation: from spiriting vague hints of the monastic, paranormal to the subterranean. Yet despite the creeping omnipresence of dark emotional forces, Kyle floats in flange-fanned processed guitar parts that evoke 80s post-punk and shoegaze influences. These dawdle, lightly dropped guitar notes and melodies both hang over and waft across the gravitas of mysterious ambient moody waves and pulsations to offer something almost translucent.

At his most pained and scary, he throws in a jilting driller-killer power tool scream out of nowhere, or dials into the Poltergeist TV set. That horror drill shock comes after a slowly creeping long passage of reverberations, and rhythmic knocks and thuds on a door that we can only hope offers salvation rather than opens Hell’s gateway. But then at its most relieved and escapist there are moments of less intensity, and an air-y, even Kosmische like, sense of the cosmic to be found. Nevertheless, it’s a thickening less desired sense of anxiety that hangs over proceedings for the majority of the time, on an album suite looking for a break in the relentless cycle of morass and despair."

THE WEIGHTLESSNESS OF FEAR BECOMES INSURMOUNTABLE

"On “Thaw” from the New Jersey based noise / ambient artist Cementation Anxiety we hear the general accruement of harsh drones, metallic scrapings and tortured vocals until they build into a deeply unsettling climax. The trick confluence of sounds both incidental and carefully executed that happens when listening to a maxed out channel at extremely high volume. There is some really nice post-rock tremolo picked guitar buried deep, deep in the mix while a long reverb tail slowly eats the rest of the track like a tail-eating ouroboros. Long decay to big waves of pretty."

"Cementation Anxiety play ambient drone from their home of New Jersey that mixes atmospheric ambience with thought provoking sonic excursion. On first impression, In Continual feels evocative of icy vastness, owing to its visual whiteness, opening track title, Thaw, and its album art. Such parallels are not merely superficial and drift their way into the music itself. As the title loosely implies, there appears to be a journey and narrative trapped within this release. With ethereal synths being a defining trope, processed guitar does make appearances on the tracks Halfhearted and He Forgets Not His Own, bringing a kind of dream-pop quality along with it. Track 3, Ava, functions as the harshest piece on the album. Washed with dense abrasion, a meandering synth chord does manage to wallow in the depths. Functioning as an interlude of sorts, The Locks Are Not Enough holds a kind of ritualistic death industrial atmosphere and seems to compliment end track, He Forgets His Own, with its cool synths and break out ending. Overall, In Continual flows nicely and is demonstrative of professionalism both in ability and production."
