Risil is a group headed by Guillermo Scott Herren (Prefuse 73, Savath & Savalas) consisting of Tyondai Braxton (Battles), Roberto Carlos Lange (Savath & Savalas), Ryan Rasheed (LebLaze), Alejandra and Claudia Deheza (School of Seven Bells), John McEntire (Tortoise), Eva Puyuelo Muns (Savath & Savalas), Zach Hill (Hella), Laurenz Pike (Triosk, Pivot) and members of Sunn O))). “Non Meters Vol. 1” is a densely layered excursion into a melodious, textured, fuzzy, droned out, powerful noise. The beauty found in this release is immaculate. The Deheza sister’s voices jump back and forth singing “There Has to Be” and “Air” in a southing, rhythmic manner on the track titled “There Has to Be.” Eva Puyuelo Muns’ vocals on “Son of Yucatan” gives me goose bumps as she sings a soft melody over quiet guitar and hints of percussion rattle in the background. What I find most interesting about the release is the combination of rhythm over this immense wall of whirling sound. The vocals at times are nothing more than a harmonization of the melody or vocoded and sung at the same volume as everything else. The sounds of free jazz, drone metal, electronic, choral music and everything in between are present on “Non Meters Vol. 1.” Highly recommended.
