With the remixes placed in a sequential order based on the section each artist chose to remix, the whole piece creates a perfect and refreshingly liberal interpretation of the 45:33 album. The global selection of remixers include everyone from Brookyn’s Runaway and Norway’s Prins Thomas to Berlin’s techno technician Riley Reinhold and Paris’ celebrated Pilooski. However, nothing can compete with the special delivery that DFA got from Detroit when Theo Parrish snail-mailed his “Space Cadet Remix”; it will undoubtedly prove to be the most celebrated remix of 2009.

Recorded between the band’s home in Los Angeles and Marfa, Texas, the ten-song collection marks a shift in the group’s relationship with technology. Rather than trying to comment on existing platforms from within their own filter bubble, the band stripped their process down and rebuilt it using a technology entirely new to them—Artificial Intelligence, and more specifically, machine learning. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIn order to compose \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eChain Tripping\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e, YACHT invented their own AI songwriting process, a journey of nearly three years. They first tried to discover any existing YACHT formulas by collaborating with engineers and creative technologists to explore their own back catalogue of 82 songs using machine learning tools. Eventually they created their own working method, painstakingly stitching meaningful fragments of plausible nonsense together from extensive, seemingly endless fields of machine-generated music and lyrics, themselves emerging from custom models created with the help of generous experts in neural networks, deep learning, and AI.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe band’s characteristically frenetic pop sound is toned down on songs like “(Downtown) Dancing,” a scotch-tape disco track that marries an anxious, funky bass groove with the lo-fi sound of the \u003cstrong\u003eNSynth\u003c\/strong\u003e, a neural synthesizer that uses a machine learning process called latent space interpolation to imagine new sounds in between traditional instrumentation. \u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eThe NSynth appears all over \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eChain Tripping\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e, notably on the jewel-like “\u003cspan style=\"color: #0000ff;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eBlue on Blue\u003c\/span\u003e,\u003c\/span\u003e” a euphoric love song wound with surprisingly omnidirectional melodies.

The process also surfaced surreal idioms, like “Loud Light’s” anthemic “I’m so in love \/ I can feel it in my car,” or the lovely phrase “palm of your eye,” which pins the lilting chorus of the driving “SCATTERHEAD” into place, a song that splits the difference between postmodern rock and no-wave dance music with wiggly ease.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e“\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff9900;\"\u003eWe saw this album as an opportunity to teach the machine our values, our history, our community, and our influences\u003c\/span\u003e,“ adds Evans. “This record is a product of a technological moment that is rapidly evolving.

With support from disco historian Bill Brewster and NTS resident Ross Allen (not to mention “\u003cstrong\u003eEcho Loves Narcissus\u003c\/strong\u003e” being named #1 single of the year by Piccadilly Records in 2017, before it was even properly released), it’s clear that Crooked House brings a timeless vitality to the current landscape of dance music, and continues an exciting new chapter in Crooked Man’s career.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"credits-label\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1) Every Killer Needs A Friend\u003cbr\u003e2) Here On Earth\u003cbr\u003e3) Make Up\u003cbr\u003e4) Turnaround\u003cbr\u003e5) Walls\u003cbr\u003e6) Take It All Away\u003cbr\u003e7) Long Time Dead\u003cbr\u003e8) Echo Loves Narcissus \u003cbr\u003e9) Robots\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"DFA","offers":[{"title":"2xLP","offer_id":38388946141353,"sku":"DFA2616lp","price":31.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":45874830082217,"sku":"dfa2616cd","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/2493\/2521\/products\/crookeddouble.jpg?v=1747427244"},{"product_id":"eric-copeland-trogg-modal-vol-1-pre-order","title":"Eric Copeland - Trogg Modal Vol. 1","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1) Mateo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2) 321 Contact\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3) Electric Mud\u003cbr\u003e4) Heads\u003cbr\u003e5) Build-A-Brain\u003cbr\u003e6) Fresco\u003cbr\u003e7) Hugo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the first part of a \u003cstrong\u003etwo-volume release\u003c\/strong\u003e, Eric Copeland (Black Dice) delivers \u003cstrong\u003eTrogg Modal Vol. 1.\u003c\/strong\u003e It has been one year since releasing Goofballs and Eric has doubled down on his unique approach to crafting dance music, pushing a sort of 'Freakbeat 4\/4' agenda even further than before.

Moving to the East German city of Halle to study in the mid-aughts, she was heavily influenced by the multifaceted alternative music scene there, and the parties people threw in post-Berlin Wall abandoned buildings. Fiedler went on to develop her craft as a formally trained singer, co-producer, and multi-instrumentalist in several bands, covering a broad palette of styles ranging from punk rock to electro pop and honing her performance skills.

She delivers her lyrics in German, and her arrangements recall the starkness of Cluster, Grauzone, and Conny Plank’s work with Liaisons Dangereuses \/ DAF - all distinct German voices from the 1980’s. The fact that Conny Plank recorded the first LP by the Eurythmics, In The Garden, brings it all full circle. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese days, Perel can be found playing DJ sets at internationally acclaimed venues like Berghain \/ Panorama Bar, De School, :\/\/about blank, and Wilden Renate, while also forging connections with Paris’ Rex Club, Oslo’s Jæger, and Bossa Nova Civic Club in New York. She’s shared bills with Jennifer Cardini, John Talabot, and DJ Harvey, among others, and the record’s lead single “Die Dimension” was one of Dixon’s most played tracks on last year’s festival circuit.

We don’t want to do the same thing over and over again, – we just need to keep it exciting and to challenge ourselves. Take those experiences, open new boxes and see what happens.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForthcoming album ‘New Path’ takes this one step further. The duo’s fifth album to date – and second on powerhouse label DFA Records –is loosely based on \u003cstrong\u003ePhilip K. Dick’s\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eA Scanner Darkly\u003c\/em\u003e, a classic of dystopian science fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“I read the book a long time ago, maybe 15 years ago, and it had a strong impression on me,” explains Pierre. “In our previous work we always looked to music as inspiration in our lives, but this time we felt the desire to try something different, that’s not based on ourselves but on someone else’s universe. It was going to be more conceptual, more political.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘New Path’ touches on personal ground, on addiction, loss, and the lingering strength of identity within late capitalism’s mass media paranoia. It pins down the central character’s destructive addiction, using this as a metaphor to explore the dichotomous rupture between our inner lives and our social environment, one that is often fed and soothed by drug abuse, social media, or any kind of dependence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“I think it touches us on many levels,” Pierre continues. “We can talk about drug addiction issues, we can talk about the mass surveillance world we live in, but there’s also the experience of loss, of grief. I was surprised by how the book felt so modern and accurate to the time we live in right now. Dick’s visions of surveillance are the reality of social control today.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s a record that continually ties itself in knots, a puzzle that is outwardly beguiling while the solutions remain inherently allusive. As Pierre points out, it’s even present in the title. “I like the fact that it sounds optimistic, but in the book it’s actually an illusion,” he explains. “This new path is actually going nowhere.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut it’s a challenge met with humour, picking up on the wry elements of Philip K. Dick’s own writing – witness the subtle wit of songs such as ‘Complet Brouillé’, ‘Les Agents Des Stups’ or as in ‘Futur Parlé’s tripped-out lyrics, offsetting intense themes with something a little more playful. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe conceptual nature of ‘New Path’ belies the subtle personal shifts within the band. A husband and wife duo, Essaie Pas thrive on freedom, on parting to focus on outside projects in Montreal and Berlin before returning renewed, flushed with fresh inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Both personally and for Essaie Pas it’s good that both of us have separate projects,” he explains. “Marie has been constantly touring solo for the last year.

At this time, Wolfgang also turned Delia onto a genre of cinema she had always resisted - the American Western.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDelia explains that what she observed “was all relevant - the album is based on our personal experience of moving back to America (from Berlin) and the journey that followed. The record is a manifestation of that, and what one creates for themselves under the given circumstances. Coming back to America, I felt like a foreigner and NYC \/ America felt like the Wild West. Most Westerns from the 1960s to the present have revisionist themes. Many were made by emerging major filmmakers who saw the Western as an opportunity to expand their criticism of American society and values into \u003cbr\u003ea new genre.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe narrative of the record is one of re-encountering the frontier mentality that shaped the country but somehow never faded. This time as a foreigner. The genre of the Western remains pertinent, many of the same stories of that brutally deromanticised era are still relevant today. America hasn’t changed - the cast, times and settings have, but we still hold onto the same ideal. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHorse Follows Darkness is essentially a modern electronic soundtrack for the Revisionist Western. Even the idea for the record cover is inspired by one of the most well known modern Westerns, Robert Altman’s McCabe \u0026amp; Mrs Miller.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe album was recorded with Abe Seiferth at Transmitter Park studios, which Delia likens to “going to the finest tailor”. Abe became an integral part of the recording, playing guitar and helping to suggest experimenting with different synthesizers, something Delia was keen to do. Delia refers to Abe as a magical and incredibly intuitive collaborator” regarding the sound of the record. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe music that emerged from these recording sessions combines a range of influences - from the compositions of Erik Satie to ‘Salon De Musique’, the solo piano record by Su Tissue (of the L.A. punk band Suburban Lawns). The record also took on a much different shape and sound with the introduction of the Sequential Circuits Prophet VS, as well as a vintage Korg Poly synth and the Roland SH-101. The golden era Krautrock recordings of bands like Neu!, Cluster \u0026amp; Harmonia were touchstones as well, the repetition, swirling soundscapes and locked-in rhythm tracks.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDelia Gonzalez is a Cuban-American musician and artist, based in both New York City \u0026amp; Berlin. Her disciplines include everything from composer to filmmaker, dancer \/ choreographer, sculptor, painter \u0026amp; performance artist. Her musical career with DFA Records began in 2004 when the label released the 12” single “Relevee”, followed by the album of cosmic acid-house “The Days of Mars”, with Delia and then musical partner Gavin Russom. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 2015, DFA released Delia’s first solo album entitled “In Remembrance”, which was a full piano score for a 30 minute filmed ballet, a perfect example of the type of work Delia creates as a multi-disciplinary artist.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\"\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.

The keys to the seachange lie with Bech’s new collaborator, the young underground DJ, producer and beat maker Drippin’, known for his work with American rap artists such as LE1F and Cakes Da Killa. As a result, where his previous work was strange, ethereal and otherworldly – completely and utterly unique - “Echo” throbs with a renewed sense of vigour and urgency, without losing any of the idiosyncratic beauty which marked Bech’s work out before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe sound created here is strange and immediate. Stuttering sharp bass kicks combine with clanging 5-alarm snare drums made of glass, orchestra stabs and melancholy piano lines jump in and out of the arrangements. These new elements and ideas are married to the already singular voice of Nils Bech, with “Echo” becoming something new, exciting and 100% Norwegian - homegrown and ready for the world. Just listen to new track “Waiting” for evidence of his truly inimitable vision, as martial drums anchor Bech’s floating, weightless vocals, to create something swoonsome, beguiling and defiantly its own creature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe music comes to full fruition when performed live, as proven at two packed performances at the 2016 By Larm Festival where Nils was joined onstage by both Drippin’ \u0026amp; Øyvind Mathisen, who also produced, arranged and played on the album alongside Bech.

Salvation came from within Sheffield, with the launch of Warp Records. He teamed up with Cabaret Voltaire’s Richard H Kirk under the Sweet Exorcist alias, delivering the peerless “Testone” in 1990, one of the landmark records of the bleep era.

Both Factory Floor’s sparsest and most overtly club-centred track to date, it sets the tone for the rest of the album. Written and recorded by Gabriel Gurnsey and Nik Colk Void in late 2015 and early 2016, it’s the product of the last three years of intensive musical activity — non-stop live performances, artistic collaborations, writing new music and reconfiguring the limits of their sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eInspired by playing a growing number of late night club shows, the pair’s music gradually evolved into the sound captured on their second album and in their current live incarnation: a stark, ultra-minimalist and eerily soulful dancefloor pulse, yet one that still bears Factory Floor’s unmistakable hallmarks of hypnotic repetition and jagged, punkish intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThat their second album is as distinct from its predecessor as their debut was from their earliest singles is unsurprising — a desire to explore, to push their own boundaries, is hardwired into Factory Floor at DNA level. Emerging in 2009 the group gained a reputation for their stunning live shows, which pummeled audiences with waves of electro-shocked rhythm. From the death-rattle of early single ‘A Wooden Box’ through their debut’s convulsive singles ‘Two Different Ways’ and ‘Fall Back’ and into 25 25’s skeletal ‘Wave’ and ‘Dial Me In’, their music has continued to forge links between industrial, post-punk and the UK’s post-acid house dance lineages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe close friendships and collaborations they’ve established along the way attest to those connections, among them Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti of Throbbing Gristle\/Chris \u0026amp; Cosey, Perc, Optimo, New Order and Simon Fisher Turner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eMixed with razor precision by David Wrench (FKA twigs, Caribou), the results are all the more forceful for that newfound space. ‘Relay’ is a spooked vocal house anthem, with Void’s voice processed into a thrillingly metallic chant. ‘Wave’ and ‘Slow Listen’ are deadly, perpetual motion machine dance tracks infused with the frontier spirit of Sheffield bleep and industrial techno. And the title track itself sums up the duo in 2016; its jarring repetitions and disorienting melodic motifs are somehow classic Factory Floor, yet shot into sparse, strangely moving new spaces. “You get into your own world and use your own vision,” says Void of the process of writing 25 25. “This really is probably the most ‘me’ record that I’ve ever done.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DFA","offers":[{"title":"2xLP","offer_id":38388953972905,"sku":"DFA2525lp","price":32.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":38388954005673,"sku":"DFA2525cd","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/2493\/2521\/products\/DFA2525_Packshot-1400.jpg?v=1610580826"},{"product_id":"dfa2484","title":"Shit Robot - What Follows","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"374\" data-end=\"749\"\u003eMarcus Lambkin aka Shit Robot returns with his third full length album for DFA Records, entitled \u003cem data-start=\"471\" data-end=\"485\"\u003eWhat Follows\u003c\/em\u003e.

Both are respected musicians in their own right - Marie having released two acclaimed solo records, with Pierre being best known for production work on underground Canadian musicians such as Dirty Beaches and Femminielli. Essaie pas was born on a hot summer night in 2010, releasing some ultra-limited singles which culminated in their debut LP, Nuit de noce (Teenage Menopause Records) in 2013. The mix of drawling guitars, français mumbles, and minimal electronics caught the ear of DFA Records, who booked the pair to open for Factory Floor on their first North American tour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The origin story of -Demain est une autre nuit- begins when the band returned from their first European tour to find that they had lost both their studio space and apartment. La Brique, their studio, practice space and renowned underground music institution, had fallen victim to the city’s rapid gentrification and closed permanently. Conflicts with their wacky landlord had also left them without an apartment, leading them to return to Montreal’s winter without many prospects. They lucked into a temporary practice space during the off-hours at the offices of Le Filles Electriques, an independent interdisciplinary festival producer. This space soon became Pierre’s new studio, and Marie’s new home. The many corridors of the empty industrial building also provided a way for Marie to work out in the frigid Montreal winter nights, running “everywhere possible, listening to techno, acid, and italo disco, being mutually inspired by the space and the sounds.” About eight months later, Demain est une autre nuit (“tomorrow is another night”) was born. “This environment influenced our music,” says Pierre, “The sounds are more clear and open, the production has more depth, on a full frequency range.” Their living conditions on tour were another major influence, “Staying at different people’s places around the world for a whole year accentuates the feeling of being a stranger wherever you go, even in your own town, but also creates a feeling of being part of an international community, opposed to a scene that exists only in one city.” \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEssaie pas’ music can not be tied to a specific genre It is a document of the encounter of two human beings mutually experimenting with music and sounds, and eventually falling in love while doing so. They are constantly pushing the boundaries of their comfort zone with new methods and technique, aiming to communicate that which is unspeakable\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003eTheir musical language is vibrant and varied - comparisons range from Film Soundtracks, Electronic Body Music, Disco, and Techno, with sensually-delivered lyrics exploring the themes of fantasies, obsessions, and the feeling of “The Void”. Marie explains, “The title comes from a joke we made when going to bed one morning, talking about our plans for the next evening.” Pierre adds, “Night is a place of freedom, a place where fantasies and obsessions are not tied by moral constraints. It’s also a time where the feeling of loneliness is stronger and when emotions and memories arise, whether you are facing it or running away from it. I think the tension and sense of urgency on the record comes from that dichotomy.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFacing The Music is an excellent demonstration of this dichotomy - its throbbing electronic percussion and sawmill synths racing towards a seemingly-inevitable climax, only to disintegrate in an instant. Similar in tone, Retox begins with an air-raid siren that explodes into electronic pulses and spiralling handclaps, with Pierre’s solemnly spoken vocals countering Marie’s sensual cadence. Lead single Le port du masque is a frenetic ode to obsession, about a man being obsessed with the ghost of an impossible relationship. Pierre explains - “I already had some of the lyrics and the idea of a woman’s mantra but months later, while I was jamming a motorik beat with a TR-505 through a delay pedal, I found the perfect foundation for it.” The band’s first composition, Carcajou appears here for the third time in an entirely different incarnation - Marie’s vocals alternately yearn and taunt, diving into and out of layers of drum machines and analog synthesizers. Closing track La Chute is the band at their most Angelo Badalamenti, with mournful organ and wheezing gasps giving way to what sounds like gentle applause, but in actuality is the last frames being fed through a film projector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDemain est une autre nuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepassee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetox\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarcajou 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLe port du masque est de rigeur\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFacing The Music\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLights Out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLa chute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DFA","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":38388954988713,"sku":"DFA2481cd","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/2493\/2521\/products\/DFA2481_Packshot.jpg?v=1610580833"},{"product_id":"dfa2479","title":"Larry Gus - I Need New Eyes","description":"\u003cp\u003eDFA Records is pleased to announce \u003ci\u003eI Need New Eyes\u003c\/i\u003e, the new album from Larry Gus. 2013’s \u003ci\u003eYears Not Living\u003c\/i\u003e was a masterpiece of composition, pushing sampling to its limits within a conceptual framework provided by Life A User’s Manual, George Perec’s postmodern fiction masterpiece. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eI Need New Eyes\u003c\/i\u003e treads familiar sonic ground to Larry Gus’ previous works - but his beatmaker percussion, shill falsetto vocals, and found sounds form a gestalt more concise and clear than ever. The references to literature continue -  the title is based on a supposed quote by Proust, “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” This record was completed amidst two life-changing events - the birth of his first child, and his participation in Red Bull Music Academy in Tokyo. (Fellow attendee NV contributes backing vocals on \u003ci\u003eBelong To Love\u003c\/i\u003e.) He explains, “When you have kids, you realize that all of the infinite branches that you were wishing to explore are starting to being cut violently with a axe (held by the baby), and all infinite choices in your life (and lifestyle) start to shrink and diminish slowly. I decided on the title the moment I got back from Tokyo, upon realising that I could never be able to live there, now that I have a baby”. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis lyrics are brought to the forefront here - covering a wide variety of anxieties, personal and professional. “Don’t forget, the success of everyone else always includes failed attempts \/ but why can’t I figure it out for myself” he howls over swirling drum fills on \u003ci\u003eNP-Complete\u003c\/i\u003e, “No more polite comments \/ at least not from my friends” he croons in \u003ci\u003eA Set Of Replies\u003c\/i\u003e.

Coming out August 7, 2015 on DFA, you may be surprised to know that it represents the fifth album by the Toronto based songwriter \/ producer. Twig has released these previous records among a swath of EP’s, singles and one-offs, displaying in the process a complete disregard for genre or consistency. The evolution from \u003cem data-start=\"872\" data-end=\"883\"\u003eContempt!\u003c\/em\u003e, his sample-stained 2009 debut, through to \u003cem data-start=\"927\" data-end=\"947\"\u003eA Hound At The Hem\u003c\/em\u003e, his symphonic tribute album to Nabokov’s \u003cem data-start=\"990\" data-end=\"998\"\u003eLolita\u003c\/em\u003e (reissued by DFA in 2014), is not entirely linear, although intriguing all the same. Like so many surf-smoothed stones lining the beach shore, briefly unburied only to be discarded once deemed un-skippable, so Twig has gone about seeking the proper rock to cast at just the right angle. One can see why he extends a gratuity to those listeners who've stuck around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1369\" data-end=\"2124\"\u003eIn what form then, do we now find the twenty-six-year old, self-proclaimed ‘wah wah master’?

He had been through full band incarnations live and on record, featuring a cast of Toronto heavies. He briefly performed Slim Twig sets as a duo with Meg Remy (U.S. Girls), combining versions of Twig’s released songs with freely structured improvisations, samples, and brightly melodic, synth textures. Something in this combination of the pop-minded and the cerebrally-produced has rubbed off on the recordings found on Twig’s latest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2130\" data-end=\"3038\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"2130\" data-end=\"2164\"\u003eThank You For Stickin’ With Twig\u003c\/em\u003e is to date the most sonically immersive album in Twig’s discography. Where some records have focused explicitly on sample-based songwriting, while others have been completely live-recorded, the new album arrives at a perfectly produced fusion of fidelities. It hovers, glamorously caught between a cloud of obscurant, half-speed tape hiss, and the most stoned Jeff Lynne production you’ve ever heard. Twig flirts here with a variety of vibes, most often opting for a three dimensional approach whereby a warped tape aura is overlaid with colourful, laser-cut keyboard and guitar melodies. A fetishization of analogue texture is married to a digital approach. All the while, we find Twig irreverently raiding classic rock of its symbolism, sexuality, and social ambition for ulterior subversions. In this respect, \u003cem data-start=\"2978\" data-end=\"2986\"\u003eTYFSWT\u003c\/em\u003e’s closest cousin may be Royal Trux’s \u003cem data-start=\"3024\" data-end=\"3037\"\u003eAccelerator\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3044\" data-end=\"3485\"\u003eOpening cut, ‘Slippin Slidin’, establishes itself as a cock rock analogue to Kanye West’s ‘On Sight’. We are welcomed by a blast of synth noise, soon followed by sexually agitated lyrics (supported by Meg Remy, whose vocals are featured prominently on much of the record) atop a deafening beat, distorted and sleazy. The immensity of the production represents an evolution of Twig’s approach, sustained at a fever pitch throughout the album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3491\" data-end=\"4090\"\u003eThe centrepiece of the album is composed of two songs sharing the middle of the running time. ‘Roll Red Roll (Song For Steubenville)’ eulogizes the tragedy of the young girl who was the tabloid subject of group sexual abuse. Its opening is harshly interrupted by a mass of pitch-shifted martial drums and wildly panned, distorted fuzz lines, composing a sonic poem through sound and oblique lyrics. Side B opens with ‘Fog Of Sex (N.S.I.S)’, a cinematic fusion of plastic soul and flute score-for-horror-film. With voicings from both Twig and Remy, the song makes overt the album’s subliminal motive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4096\" data-end=\"4777\"\u003eThe album closes with a cover of Serge Gainsbourg’s instrumental ‘Cannabis’. Slim Twig’s latest modulation of voice is to re-contextualize an era of ambition in produced rock music, dislodging the hackneyed and clichéd in the process. Sonically and politically, his aim is to be a rock n’ roll subversive. Context is everything, and Twig’s gift may be in zeroing in on that. He collages his sounds together in a continuum where pop criticism is always recycling through what it chooses to lend cultural currency, if only for an instant. As of now, he’s sized up rock n’ roll, and determined it seems as good as any other vessel to commandeer for his creative impulse. Power to him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"DFA","offers":[{"title":"Gold LP","offer_id":38388957053097,"sku":"DFA2472lp","price":22.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":38388957118633,"sku":"DFA2472cd","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/2493\/2521\/products\/DFA2472_STORE_PACKSHOT.png?v=1610580779"},{"product_id":"dfa2229d","title":"Peter Gordon \u0026 Love of Life Orchestra - S\/T","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePeter Gordon and his Love of Life Orchestra--as a new audience discovered upon hearing the FabricLive.36 compilation, a handpicked mix from LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy and Pat Mahoney that opened and closed with Gordon's \"Beginning of the Heartbreak \/ Don't Don't\"--are testament to the incredible musical innovations happening in New York City in the late 1970s.

Played and recorded on the move between different flats in Brighton and Hove, then wheeled around town on a hard-drive wrapped in a sleeping bag in a specially-adapted suitcase, Home Economics gave them an escape route from “that frustration you feel when you spend days trying to recapture the intimacy of a particular moment”, Tobin remembers. “This time we could just use the original take, so sometimes these songs are almost like field recordings”. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll the best six-track albums - The Fall’s Slates, Orange Juice’s Texas Fever - know exactly what they want to say and how they intend to say it.

Move quick!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelia Gonzalez is a name immediately familiar to DFA fanatics. As the story goes, Delia transplanted from Miami to New York City in the mid-1990s, working in various dance and guerrilla theatre troupes. It was around this time that she met synth wizard Gavin Russom, beginning a series of multi-disciplinary collaborations. Their first release for the label, 2003’s \u003cem\u003eEl Monte\u003c\/em\u003e, was an early demonstration of the fledgling label’s ability to bridge the gap between the avant-garde and the rapidly exploding indie rock world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn Remembrance\u003c\/em\u003e is the next landmark in Delia’s artistic pursuits. The project originated as a 2010 solo show of the same name at Galleria Fonti in Naples, Italy, and was further realized in 2012, with additional work, as part of the exhibition \u003cem\u003eI Must Not Stop To Rest Here\u003c\/em\u003e in Cologne, Germany. The project was further exhibited in Zurich. Both exhibitions were built around four 16mm ballet dance films, accompanied by the music composed by Gonzalez. In her words, “The film is meant to re-create the fleeting sensation of inspiration - that sacred feeling when suddenly your mind clears and you know exactly what you’re meant to create and become.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe films were exhibited in their third incarnation at the Clocktower Gallery in New York City in 2013. Delia enlisted New York underground musicians Bryce Hackford and Alice Cohen to perform a live, electronic adaption of the original piano score. Bryce later contributed four remixes, which are included on this album. Delia explains; “When I lived in Berlin I became good friends with the artist and musician Viktor Timofeev, who kept telling me about his best friend Bryce, who he played music with. In 2012 we were all in Vienna participating in a show entitled \u003cem\u003eYou Are Free\u003c\/em\u003e. There I met Bryce and I instantly loved him. In 2013 I moved to NYC temporarily and ran into him at the New Museum and he said, “we should get together and play”. I took him up on it.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original piano score was initially inspired by a text by Henry Miller as well as a theory by spiritual teacher George Gurdjieff, which states that “to play scales is to become more in tune with your inner self.” This coincided conceptually with the music that Delia had been making at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusically, \u003cem\u003eIn Remembrance\u003c\/em\u003e finds Delia Gonzalez again straddling the lines drawn between the fine art and pop worlds. This time, instead of the cosmic, arpeggiated synths of \u003cem\u003eThe Days of Mars\u003c\/em\u003e , we are presented with something even more immediately beautiful. The music is immediately soothing and hypnotic, yet it also maintains a sinister undertone. Suspense and tension are expressed in a deceptively simple fashion, providing a soundtrack both mesmerizing and melancholy for the dancers in the film. Delicate layers of piano wind around each other, reflected in the mirrored motions of the dancers, filmed in leering close-ups. The four compositions combine to create a 30 minute avant-classical suite, bringing to mind Satie, or something plucked from Italy’s iconic Cramps Records in the seventies (John Cage’s Cheap Imitation is an reasonable comparison), or perhaps an alternate score to the arthouse horror film \u003cem\u003eDon\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e’\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003et Look Back\u003c\/em\u003e by Nicolas Roeg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second disc features remixes by previously mentioned live collabator Bryce Hackford. Bryce takes Delia’s exquisite piano score and loops, stretches, and consolidates it. There’s a range of treatments at play here - some pieces are layered with gauzy left-field electronic pulses while Track IV get a 4\/4 dancefloor makeover, recommended to fans of both classic Detroit techno and newer left-field stars such as Actress. Asked to briefly discuss his mission statement in creating these remixes, Bryce simply stated that he wished that his remixes “maintain the hypnotic and simple beauty of the originals while opening them up to new spaces.”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn Remembrance\u003c\/em\u003e will be released by DFA Records and [PIAS] Cooperative on April 28, 2015.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eTracklist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 - Delia Gonzalez (I)\u003cbr\u003eA2 - Delia Gonzalez (II)\u003cbr\u003eB1 - Delia Gonzalez (III)\u003cbr\u003eB2 - Delia Gonzalez (IV)\u003cbr\u003eC1 - Bryce Hackford (Remix I)\u003cbr\u003eC2 - Bryce Hackford (Remix II)\u003cbr\u003eD1 - Bryce Hackford (Remix III)\u003cbr\u003eD2 - Bryce Hackford (Remix IV)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DFA","offers":[{"title":"Purple 2xLP","offer_id":38388959969449,"sku":"DFA2457LP","price":31.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD + DVD","offer_id":38388960002217,"sku":"DFA2457cd","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD + DVD autographed","offer_id":45846338175145,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/2493\/2521\/products\/dfa2357_vinyl.png?v=1610580840"},{"product_id":"dfa2393","title":"Slim Twig - A Hound At The Hem","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSlim Twig is the name of a man, not of a band - though he has performed in many a group, some under his own moniker.
