Demdike Stare - Wonderland

very very wonderful to hav th testy pressings without added labour transferring the vinyls. still making sense of all these tracs..

Companion cassette at Boomkat, limited to 400 copies...

https://boomkat.com/products/circulation-133d792e-a468-4ae7-80fb-aa523dccc637

Ordered when I read "Demdike re-contextualise fragments of sound into a transformed new whole that is thematically close to Lee Gamble’s by-now classic Diversions album"

i thought this was really boring =\

Cassette could be cool but could be boring. Would be worth it just to have/or sell later, but I'm gonna pass if they don't even have previews up.

listening and its goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood

 

 

It totally is

Listened to the album proper in the car tonight and it obliterated my face. Wowsers!

Parts of it get really close to the creepy crawly textures and dark moods of BOC's earlier, sparser stuff. Like the opening track, perhaps the comparisons are not obvious at first, but the gritty, isolating, grinding sounds and pounding rhythms paired with the spooky atmosphere remind me of tracks like sixtyten.

I'm loving this album, friggin' great winter listening!

Yah, the opening track is fantastic.

Also that rhythm switch up in animal style kills me. So fuckin righteous.

Agreed. Also love the way Airborne Latency builds up, then strips back to that moody ambient outro. So good.

Want to remind you all that this exists.

Just relistened to all three discs today. A total masterpiece here (released with almost zero hype).

See them live if you get the chance.

Easily my favorite record of 2017.

One of my all time favs. Loved seeing them live in a smoky old warehouse.
