Twenty-two minutes of brain-frying, coruscating fuzz and feedback immersions with Sightings guitarist, Mark Morgan. Cranking the amp with enough distortion to sink an oil tanker, Morgan layers over a miasma of voices both demonic and angelic as if summoned up by the straining, sinuous guitar strings themselves. 

“While pretty much every noise musician uses the guitar as a weapon of mass destruction, Mark Morgan of scuzz-worshippers Sightings uses his guitar for sheer negation. Playing in 50 shades of gray on found and borrowed pedals, the leader of this longtime Brooklyn noise band is quicker to sound like a vacuum humming, toilet flushing, or scrambled cable porn feed than Eric Clapton or even Thurston Moore; a unique sound that has all the emotion of punk, with none of its recognizable sounds. As he told the blog Thee Outernet: “Probably the biggest influences on my playing style is sheer f—king laziness and to a slightly lesser degree, a certain level of retardation in grasping basic guitar technique.” – Spin
