The Haters

The Haters are a pioneering noise and conceptual art troupe from the United States, formed in 1979 by GX Jupitter-Larsen. They are one of the earliest and most well-known acts in the modern noise scene. The group's performances typically involve Jupitter-Larsen and a rotating lineup of collaborators, often featuring local experimental musicians and artists, creating extremely loud noise using machinery and physical processes like grinding and crashing. This noise is not created with traditional instruments or audio equipment, emphasizing a conceptual element that often explores themes of entropy and decay. The Haters have released numerous works, often capturing live performances, and have been recognized for their innovative approach, including winning the Best Electronic Experimental Artist award at the 2005 LA Weekly Music Awards.

As a conceptual group, The Haters' work extends beyond sound, incorporating visual and performance arts, with a focus on creating sonic experiences that are both intense and thought-provoking. GX Jupitter-Larsen's fascination with concepts like holes and voids often surfaces in their performances, which can include activities like mass amplified stapling or using contact microphones on unusual objects. This combination of noise and conceptual art has made The Haters a landmark figure in experimental music. However, my knowledge base does not contain specific information about the releases you've listed, so I cannot comment on those.
