Shackleton - Man On A String Part 1 and 2

Shackleton - Man On A String Part 1 and 2

  Quote

Shackleton enters the void left by Skull Disco with the launch of a brand new and somewhat unexpected

new imprint: Woe To The Septic Heart! It's become a noticable trend that when Shackleton produces for

labels he tends to adjust ever so slightly towards their aesthetic, but Septic is clearly the place to go for

most esoteric, personal strains of his sound. 'Man On A String Parts 1 & 2' maps out a florid jungle scene

populated with telepathic drum circles and spiraling sequences of melodica-like tones organised in ritual

formations over a sprawling 10 minute duration. By contrast 'Bastard Spirit' is like the evil character lurking

in the undergrowth, beating a super slow and martial bass tattoo with groovesome swagger and all of the

melody emitted from tilted percussive timbres and the presence of menacing subbass harmonics, all designed

to put dancers in a drowsy, hypnagogic state in order to be infiltrated by the titular entities. With the awesome

full colour artwork from Skull Disco sleeve designer, Zeke Clough, this looks like being the start of something

very special indeed.
