BIRTH CONTROL PRODUCTIONS

Debut album from the secretive New York City artist. A troublingly ambiguous mixture of sensory inputs, all of which merge flawlessly together on this rhythmically-driven Power Electronics offering, originally recorded and released on a private basis a couple of years back.

It is unclear which noises are electronically generated here vs. which are hopelessly deformed renditions of instrumental recordings, but the overall impression is one of heavy Power Electronics approached from an emotionally-driven and techno-influenced perspective. Looped layers and compressed sizzles evoke something like the musical equivalent of coming down from club drugs surrounded by the once-warm, now-cold lights of the modern cosmopolis.

At times this album almost has “beats.” Neon synth tones are countermeasured with crunchfucked distortion blowout to provide the ideal bed for occasional outbursts of purely spiteful vocal violence, as well as the rare and deeply-embedded sung phrase.

STRICTLY limited to 50 hand-numbered copies. Black C90 with double-sided pro-jcard. Total runtime 68min.
