Hungry Eye Records: Security – Arid Land
Security are an experimental/ industrial duo featuring Anna (vocals, guitar) and Elie (bass, programming) from the late, great Dernier Sex from Montreal. “Arid Land” is their debut outing on vinyl and sees them veer into harsher territory than in Dernier Sex. Thick, layered synthesizers have been replaced with sparse percussion and grinding low-end on par with early Swans or even S.P.K., though with vocals suited to a Cocteau Twins album. A great debut by a band we hope sticks around longer than their gone-in-a-flash predecessor.
