about

dark psychosexual electronics lurk between the teeth of ester kärkkäinen, the las vegas based artist also known as himukalt. for the past six years, she has tirelessly pursued an avenue of bleak industrial productions that parallel the extremist works of genocide organ and atrax morgue. she has built a considerable reputation for uncompromising, full-frontal noise, releasing albums on total black, malignant records, found remains, and foul prey, amongst others. between my teeth was originally a cassette which came out in 2018 as a tiny edition on the greek imprint several minor promises and sold out immediately upon release. himukalt returns to helen scarsdale with the necessary reissue of between my teeth as a vinyl edition with expanded artwork.

the album is a maelstrom of ill-tempered noise and blackened frequencies, sutured to a foundation of primitive, raw rhythms. kärkkäinen cuts up her own voice with the digital equivalent of a rusted razor blade through her proclamations of misery, rage, and desire. the albums' opening track "cataclysm" a turgid industrial production with kärkkäinen adopting two distinct voices that, while they remain mostly indecipherable in content, the context presumes an inevitable, catastrophic and emotionally violent collapse in the relationship between two people. a tense rhythm clicks below the full spectrum bursts of harsh noise on 'she went mad' followed by the smoldering power electronic moves of "i no longer belong" and "not proper." and the death disco groove of "mine" is far more hellish than danceable through its scalded distortion and kärkkäinen's vocal mantras about bodily self-loathing.

another bold, declarative album in the ever impressive himukalt discography.
