about
the twins offered the consideration that "mutual consuming comes from a concept in the philosophies that underpin traditional chinese medicine theory, where the two opposing states (yin and yang) are 2 states on a continuum and their interactions produce an infinite possible number of states of aggregation. within this interplay, there is a dynamic balance that is maintained by a constant adjustment of their relative levels. so an excess of yin consumes yang and vice versa." we asked if this has anything to do with the concept of the ouroboros, to which they responded, "we hadn't thought about ouroboros, but the eternal cycle of things makes sense too. the gorge fest of existence." does this relate to previous works? the twins concisely respond to that question in a rare interview in untitled, "no."
mutual consuming is a dire piece of isolationist thrum, spectral caterwaul, and heavy gloom through an oblique and abstracted coupling of electronics, noise, and ominous field recordings. as immersive as thomas köner’s haunting ambience but fully entrenched in the industrial meditations of mb. originally published as part of the instantly out of print boxset, on corrosion - a 10 cassette anthology from 2019 that was housed in a handcrafted wooden box and featuring full albums from kleistwahr, neutral, pinkcourtesyphone, alice kemp, she spread sorrow, g*park, relay for death, francisco meirino, fossil aerosol mining project, and himukalt. the collection stood as the 50th release for the helen scarsdale agency.

Deep, mind-bending psych. I don't know how it was put together, but it feels very organic, like early Nurse With Wound. I could see Gordon, Dilloway, and Nace sitting among a pile of junk and miles of tape, splicing together this album piece by piece.
