Nick Mott - Here Begins The Great Destroyer

Review by Steve Justo

Here Begins The Great Destroyer, the latest album by Nick Mott is a masterpiece of experimental music. The album, which was released in 2020, is a collection of eight tracks that showcase Mott's unique approach to sound design and composition.

The album is a journey through a sonic landscape that is both haunting and beautiful. Mott's use of unconventional instruments and field recordings creates a sense of otherworldliness that is both captivating and unsettling. The tracks are filled with unexpected twists and turns, taking the listener on a journey that is both unpredictable and exhilarating.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Burning Room," a haunting piece that features a pulsing, rhythmic beat and layers of distorted vocals. The track builds to a crescendo of noise and chaos before fading into a hauntingly beautiful outro.

Another standout track is "Pond Life," a piece that is built around a field recording of frogs and insects. Mott weaves in layers of electronic textures, creating a sense of tension and unease that is both eerie and beautiful.
