winnipeg-based noise label male activity isn't shooting to the top quite as quickly as, say, total black, but this still-fledgling label is slowly but surely churning out some really solid tapes with increasingly excellent packaging. after being pleased with the previous tape I picked up, my friend at black metal and brews reviewed a couple of the newer ones and inspired me to make another purchase.

this tape, limited to just twenty copies, is a short-but-sweet ten minutes of haunting noise with some nicely layered vocals. the first track has an industrial edge, with male and female vocals in a call-and-response pattern. the second track is a little more ambient and features only the male vocals, and compliments the first track perfectly.

the packaging, as mentioned above, is excellent. the tape and info card come in a sealed, oversized envelope with a handful of dried flower petals and stems. it perfectly captures (and adds to) the mournful, depressed atmosphere of the music.

there are two other wet nurse releases on male activity, one of which is available from the label, the other of which is sold out and thus only available on discogs. this release, and many other male activity tapes, are shockingly cheap and would all make great additions to any collection.

this reprieve from the noisey drones and screams of damien dubrovnik comes courtesy of the fledgling male activity label.

I was turned onto this tape by my friend at black metal and brews who did a brief but informative profile on a few of male activity's releases that you can read here.

khfiva's debut release is a collection of very dreamy tones and soothing ambience that can serve as a great palate-cleanser between some of the harsher music we all know and love, or just as a perfect record to help you relax after a long day.

the physical release is an edition of thirty copies - white cassettes that have been hand-painted (or should I say, splattered) with royal blue, come housed in a standard case with a hand-numbered j-card.

male activity is very new and while they only have a few releases under their collective belt, they're already selling out quickly. grab a copy of this one here while they're still available and be sure to check out their other releases while you're at it...this is definitely a label to watch.
