An experimental collaboration between GRIDFAILURE and the multi-platinum trumpet player MAC GOLLEHON
Nefarious Industries presents Dismemberment Cabaret, a cinematic collaborative album between New York harsh/experimental soloist GRIDFAILURE and world-renowned and multi-platinum New York City-based trumpet player MAC GOLLEHON.
Prohibition-era speakeasy and The Great Gatsby vibes merge with gritty horror/slasher and detective films of the 1970s/80s on Dismemberment Cabaret, the uneasy combination is projected with unhinged, cinematic horror. GRIDFAILURE creator David Brenner weaves a harsh environment of post-industrial beats and nontraditional percussive elements, bass, guitars, analog synth, keyboards, violin, xylophone, and more, matrixed through layers of field recordings and brutalizing vocal torment. MAC GOLLEHON’s explosive brass and wind contributions slash through the carnage with intensity on all ten songs of the dense album, displaying an array of styles from an even wider spectrum of eras and genres through a surge of trumpet, trombone, cornet, didgeridoo, and more.
While some of GOLLEHON’s elements were randomly recorded at prior sessions with the two artists, Dismemberment Cabaret was wholly created while in self-quarantine throughout 2020. Brenner orchestrated, recorded, and mixed the album at The Compound in Rockland County, with the bulk of GOLLEHON’s material self-recorded in the stairwell of his building in Staten Island. The album was mastered by Dan Emery at Black Matter Mastering (Kool Keith, Lost Dog Street Band, Thetan), and completed with cover art, photo manipulation, and videos created by Brenner.
