Olchar E. Lindsann lets st'Utter Tongue turn language into a noisy broken instrument

Olchar E. Lindsann’s st'Utter Tongue arrives on 28 June through Spaceship Lullabies with a title that immediately makes language feel unstable. The apostrophe is doing work here. It interrupts the word, trips the tongue, turns speech into a physical event rather than a smooth delivery system. Tagged across experimental spoken word, avant-garde poetry, noise, sound poetry and Virginia, the release belongs to a tradition where voice is not only a carrier of meaning but a texture, weapon, rhythm and wound. That can be challenging music, but it can also be oddly liberating. Pop often wants language to behave. Sound poetry asks what happens when it refuses. st'Utter Tongue sounds like a project interested in the glitch inside the mouth: the repeated syllable, the failed sentence, the noise that escapes before sense arrives. That failure may be the point, and maybe also the music.
