<\/div>\n

Crowhurst<\/strong> is an ugly, many tentacled thing. Through an endless stream of splits, collaborations, EPs, and full-lengths, Jay Gambit has exhumed the darkest and most frightening sounds from his imagination and printed them to tape. Harsh noise and drones to soundscapes and honest-to-god heavy metal, Crowhurst has done it all. I sat down with Jay to get the skinny on his new collaboration with Gnaw Their Tongues<\/strong>, his upcoming conclusion to the extremely metal Crowhurst trilogy, and get some advice on navigating the perilous noise scene.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You just put out a collaboration with Gnaw Their Tongues. You’ve both established your own dense, and at times difficult, sound. How did this collaboration come about? Did you approach Maurice or did he come to you? And what did you hope to accomplish when working together?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jay Gambit:<\/strong> I’ve been a huge fan of GTT for a long time, and I reached out to him around 2015-ish about doing something. He was kind enough to say yes. As far as the goals, there was one very clear one in mind for me – and that was to create kind of an auditory horror film. To me, Mories is the best at creating the most insane kind of traumatic noise. Truly nightmarish audio unlike anyone else, that goes beyond the general confines of the genres of noise or metal and goes into something else entirely.<\/p>\n

You’re a\u00a0connoisseur\u00a0of spooky sounds and visuals. What horror film would best compliment this record?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Visions of Suffering. You can watch it here<\/a> in it’s entirety.\u00a0Also, another great one is Engineering Red which you can watch here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What was your working process like? Did you meet up in a room and hash it out or did you send tracks back and forth a la The Postal Service?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Exactly like The Postal Service. 100%.<\/p>\n
