Jason DiEmilio committed suicide in 2006, his death hastened by tinnitus and painful sensitivity to sound. It’s assumed his conditions resulted from the atonal, high volume, feedback drones he wrenched from his guitar as The Azusa Plane, but DiEmilio’s music always sounded like someone trying to block something out with clouds of vibrating bliss.
Here’s two CDs and sixty-seven bonus mp3s suggesting My Bloody Valentine or The Velvet Underground, their pop song shapes erased, and all that abstract sonic dressing dragged center-stage, where it will carry whatever emotional weight you care to place upon it.
