Dirty Knobs – Scorcher
Idiosyncratic and intense experimental electronica that explores the fringes of techno, IDM, and ambient.
SCORCHER, by Dirty Knobs
SCORCHER by Dirty Knobs, released 31 October 2025 1. Foldover Deadplay 2. Bug Balm 3. Soft Power 4. Slow Attack 5. Trauma Commerce 6. Our Oubliette 7. Squid Crow Pro 8. Strange Rangebow NO AI WAS USED IN THIS RECORDING CD, Vinyl: https://elasticstage.com/xeromusic/releases/scorcher-album "This is delightfully hard to categorize and consistently intriguing, full of unusual ideas and novel executions." —EtherDiver https://www.etherdiver.com/2026/04/03/opm-second-anniversary/ Darkened ratways under the city’s megastructure pulse with a rolling, undulating rhythm. A dry scraping sound tumbles down howling shafts, racing against the falling condensation and pigeon shit. Shafts of pure white light catch drifts of dirt, dandruff, and fleas. A sub-harmonic pressure silently shakes tons of metal conduit, flaking off rust and paint in an abrasive red mist. Moss and slime house busy ecologies, living and dying and living again without any sense of history. Fast shadows move like boiling oil against a glacial mass of decaying support struts. Cracks open, firing shrapnel across miles of emptiness. Eyeless heads turn vaguely toward the sound. The city groans under its own weight, shifting, listing, settling onto waves of its past. Superheated jets of grime spray against concrete walls, eroding strange and shifting glyphs into the surface. The story they record is one of endings and obsoletion.

Finally, while I do not charge readers or bands, I AM a professional writer -- this is how I make my living. If I can't make enough doing this to justify at least MOST of the time I spend doing it, I will have to stop. Don't want that? How about a small contribution?

@etherdiver I'm a big fan of Dirty Knobs. Which is a phrase easily taken out of context.
