∆ Claire’s Lobotomy — Snooze Karabush and Lichen Bouboushian are releasing their debut EP under the moniker Claire’s Lobotomy. We work with dissonance, playing in the in-between spaces and hiccups of sound, blurting out, raging. We reject aural hegemony. Squelchy, grating, difficult noises abound. So far we’ve been playing with sound scores and song structures featuring voice, samples, sax, pan flute, and mic play. Landing somewhere between minimalist sound experiments and full on damaged noise freakouts, we tread the path of weird queer noise together.
