Renowned for their experimental and improvisational slant on noise, psych, drone, art rock & post punk, Sydney collective Forenzics drop their third album ‘Build Ruins’ on New Weird Australia’s label imprint, New Editions.
A collaboration with Japanese electronic artist Ryota Yamamura and Joe Cummins on trumpet and Kaoss, ‘Build Ruins’ is driven by Forenzics’ simple philosophy: play what you feel without limits and boundaries, but whatever is brought to the table must be created there and then. There are no restrictions on genre, texture, format or structure – Forenzics’ improvisations are directly defined by the mood, ability and preferences of the musicians taking part.
The constants in Forenzics are the two guitarists, Matthew Syres and Dirk Kruithof, both playing through myriad effects, tunings and various degrees of prepared guitar, with Dirk often adding voice, bass, banjo or found sounds to the mix. Forenzics have also played with some of Sydney’s best drummers including Evan McGregor, Louis Burdett, and founding member Ben Eadie.
‘Build Ruins’ follows two earlier releases from Forenzics, 2009’s ‘H3O’ and 2010’s ‘Static and Silence’, and is woven from their ever-evolving live shows – which have earned plaudits such as “early Mogwai baiting Oren Ambarchi and Battles” (via Blitz Magazine).

This is a compelling synthesis of vocality, rhythm, instrumental sound, and sound art and effects. Fear not the sound art and effects. They are an integral part of the music. And this is music. Music at the edge. Its cohesiveness suggests that these composer musicians have been working together a long time exploring the limits of the musical. John Simms
