Fever Knife
Plunge Rabid

Fever Knife is a Los Angeles based musician who has been releasing music under the name Camouflage Project since 2011. Her debut album "Plunge" is a head scratcher to say the least – twenty minutes of dark drone with some sweet spot in between – but a solid foundation for further exploration. The tracks shift between long drones and breakbeat breakdowns, pummelling her way through a variety of different grooves. There is a spareness to her music that is almost tenebrous about her power, yet it feels oddly percussive when she's playing acoustic guitar rather than electric.

The track "Rabid" sounds like it has something to do with a ramshackle roof system. Whispering voices speak through a battered guitar and come over the bridge to be re-arranged at the source, a rattling secondary radar emitter, whatever you want to call it. Who knows what it is.

The sound of her playing on "Plunge" is similar to what you'd hear if you played the Hammond organ backwards, pulling all the notes back to return the notes to their original positions. Towards the end of the track, things get a bit out of sync but not so far as to be a disorientation.

The closing track "Invisible" is as mysterious as the preceding track "Plunge", as if the person singing is being recorded and played back before your very eyes. But it's not so much that the end of the track is disconcerting as entirely out of the ordinary, as if the person singing is telling the story of their life to the next person listening on their own tape, or in some other format. It's like hearing a message board member out of a room with a conversation going on between two blocks. It's like being invited to a party in a small town and not quite belonging to any of the people there. But definitely not the usual Jammy Jammy Jammy shit.
