The frenetic pace and granular sonic detail of Alex Wilcox’s “Cut Me” can make one forget how finely edited the whole song is in the end. The title is almost meta in how the song hits like is a series of jump cuts with blips and streams of textural tone sipped in between the and over the anchoring pulse that one can feel and discern as a kind of ghost infrastructure of the song. It sounds like someone purging a lot of nervous energy by creating something that in the listening feels like you’re hearing the work of someone intimately connected with the workings of their own anxieties and no stranger to channeling that energy into something productive that is the perfect combination of precision and chaos. Interspersed we hear vocals by Catnapp that seem both weary and resigned caught up in the headlong pace of the song. Fans of solo Alice Glass and Machine Girl will appreciate the exuberant glitchcore sensibility of this single. Listen to “Cut Me” on Spotify and follow Alex Wilcox at the links below.
