review: Andrew Coltrane "Symphony of Black Holes" (Cut Hands)

Whether or not Michigan's Andrew Coltrane did any research into the scientific phenomena of black holes while conceptualizing "Symphony for Black Holes" is irrelevant. Regardless of his intent, the connections drawn between the two subjects are plainly evident within the work itself, and while not quite the event horizon I was hoping for, it certainly lends itself immediately to such comparisons. Cut Hands describes this release as "...all black, no joy," and states that, "Not a ray of light can be found..." within. Anyone who gives this release a proper listen will understand that they are not fucking around.
