The latest album by 20-year New Zealand noise vets Dead C consists of four tracks that are expectedly lengthy but still thrive on minimalist dynamics. Opener "Mansions" is actually a relatively beefy production, with Bruce Russell's punishing bass drone and Michael Morley's ominous vocals high up in the mix. But as if to play games with listeners' ear drums, the following track, "Stations," is the record's most inaudibly lo-fi--and also its longest. And while things close out on a similar note of nearly silent cacophony with "Waves," the closing, "Plains," offers the EP's most musical 10 minutes, thanks to a reliably repetitive snare beat that keeps a bit of time amidst the meandering. SECRET EARTH may be for diehards, but might prove surprisingly enjoyable for people who want to take their gothic inclinations to a stripped-down extreme.
