Noxagt - “Mek It Burn” with footage of Seattle snow in Carkeek Park.
“Mek It Burn” from 2003’s Turning It Down Since 2001 is a perfect intro to the three-piece, which makes it clear it likes all manner of things brutal — being it Birthday Party, Flipper, Melvins, The Dirty Three, etc. all while being only a violist, a bassist, and drummer. Noxagt makes just as easy a tense urban soundtrack as it does a cold retreat away from humanity.
Seattle got one of its unusual bouts of snow two days ago. The day after was even colder, but with clear skies. As I live walking distance from one of the many forested parks in the city, and was working from home, I decided to venture into the park with my camera using its video features for the first time.
This is the result. Please enjoy!
