Within private conversations of analytical nature, Disaster Amnesiac often brings up the factor of just how many hurt, hurting people that are contained within our consensus reality. My opinion is that there are tons of humans who are wrestling with untold and often times undiagnosed factors, ones that are at work within their minds or bodies. The further that this writer gets along his mortal coil, the more apparent it is that one must be gentle and very patient with others, for the most part, because one rarely knows what those around them are going through. Sound organizer Maggie Noggle uses the project called Prismer as a vehicle for working through the condition of agoraphobia. Agoraphobia is described as an intense fear of not being able to escape stimuli that are perceived as life threatening. Obviously, that's a heavy burden for the mind to bear. That Prismer addresses the issue on its 2025 3" CD Ramshackle! is, along with being very commendable, very intriguing from a listening standpoint. Prismer uses sound sources from multiple media in order to stitch a collage of nacreous hues over four tracks. Voices haunted, haunting, hopeful, heartbreaking and heartbroken rise up out of the opaque environments of their sound beds. They have given this listener pause to reflect upon a few comrades now gone, along with a few presences missed. Other listeners will surely appreciate Prismer's melodic fearlessness on the closing track Zookeeper, a track which features a lovely ascending to Heaven feel. Ultimately Ramshacke! retains an aura of hope, and it's that which makes the album glow. As the last voice on the album intones: "God bless you all".
