description: ltd. Screened slv review: I think the key to understanding and enjoying the works of solo Swedish noise/tape loop/weirdness merchants like Dan Johansson, d/b/a Sewer Election, is that you have to understand why someone wouldn’t want to hear it, ever. The majority opinion tells you that five to seven minutes of having someone drop a metal washtub on your head, then hit it with a chain is only less tolerable than hearing your assailant burp over and over, or possibly take a piss on you while dry heaving. For some, this is a metaphor for life; for a subset of that small group, it is as such, literally. Someone I didn’t like very much, and who didn’t know me, or anyone (including himself) well enough to make such assessments, once told me that people who want to listen to something like this is only done to make you feel different and special from the rest of the world. I’d take that one better and say that if you are gonna sit down with any Sewer Election, you may not have a worldview at all, and life is one giant shit-stained mystery and other people are just fig newtons of your imagination, ready to be consumed and pooped out. Anyway, I hope this guy stops choking soon. (http://www.releasethebats.com)
