Been a fan of this dude since the good ole Myspace days of yore. Really noisy, really distorted, really good. He's made his way into Pitchfork with this one:

Quote

Luwayne Glass, the mind behind Wichita, Kan., noise project Dreamcrusher, brands his music as "NIHILIST QUEER REVOLT MUSIK". Being black, gay, and from Kansas (or at least one of these) will make one an outsider in a scene of outsiders, but Glass is fighting to bring a different, more encompassing voice into the genre. "Memories" is the first track fromHaine, which he just released digitally, and its pop undercurrents make it a highlight of the genre this year.

There's a rave crawling its way out of the blown-out distortion, as opposed to the typical noise route of mowing over everything in sight. Glass pairs throbbing strobe lights of bass with a droning siren that alternates between ecstasy and ultimate loss. "Memories" does not recede at any point, getting huger as the song progresses, straddling the line between the nihilism Glass claims and total loss of self. Pop might be buried here, but it's by no means submissive. Noise is usually loud, but volume doesn't always indicate ambition. And while noise will, in many ways, remain a niche concern, "Memories" attempts to give it a big-tent feel.
