Crave
Inner War Delirium
Boomkat Product Review:
Prolific French DIY outsider Jonathan Katsav materializes on Heat Crimes for his latest rap deconstruction, using the sonic structures of noise and hardcore to elevate his modernist Memphis-inspired darkside vignettes. One for anyone into Tommy Wright III, Shapednoise, Spaceghostpurrp, Brodinski, Death Grips or Wolf Eyes. Play loud, basically.
Decked out with a cover of a figure duct taped to a metal pole alongside a propane-powered grill, 'Inner War Delirium' is the soundtrack to gloomy suburban malaise - stories of real people and real experiences that Katsav has folded into a multi-character epic. The French producer has used many different names in his two-decade career so far: Lieu Noir, Sniper Bait, Soul Collector, Jonny Teardrop, Junkbox, Paso Inferior and others. But Crave is his most enduring moniker, a place where Katsav has been able to reconcile his love of Southern rap, extreme noise and chilly dungeon synth. 'Inner War Delirium' might be his most complete statement, and serves as an ideal introduction for newcomers intimidated by his vast catalog.
A cinephile, Katsav approaches his music as if each track was a different scene from a movie, using field recordings, obscure recording techniques and different voices to help tell a mangled story. Opening track 'Phyllis' is a memorable title sequence, setting the scene with looped raps, doomy fairground synths and acidic sprays of noise. Katsav's words boom across the ambience like the voice of God, morphing from a sermon into a throaty rap as synthetic string plucks (that remind us of Richard Band's 'Puppet Master' soundtrack) shift from horror soundtrack to trap banger. But Katsav never takes the easy route; his music's made with mood in mind, and just before it can erupt into a crowdpleaser, it disintegrates into eerie noise.
'Backdraft' is the French DIY veteran's chance to lean more forcefully into Southern rap tradition, curling hi-hat trills and saturated 808 bumps around his slurred, distorted drawl. With reversed synths and a base of scraping metal, it's a track that sits comfortably alongside Shapednoise's recent 'Absurd Matter', effortlessly bringing serrated industrial sonics to the kind of grubby, horror-inspired grit Spaceghostpurrp was spearheading back in '08. The title track is a serious highlight, glued together from metal bar clangs, sci-fi electronics and Katsav's own garbled vocals, but the finale 'Skirt the Grove' takes the album to the next level, grounding the album in Katsav's physical reality. Beginning with squashed trap beats and vivid neon synths, its swamped by outdoor recordings; Katsav recorded the track from his car's trunk, letting the rain patter on the metalwork as voices scream in the background. It's terrifyingly effective.
