“Statues Also Die”… is the vinyl debut of the minimal synth / coldwave solo spanish project STRUCKTURA , a truly collection item, a pure gem for genre lovers, one-off pressing, catch it or dont regret later!
Synths Versus Me is Nico Cabañas and Vanessa Asbert, known as founders of the vinyl spanish label Oráculo Records. The band project started on late 2014 influenced by darkwave sounds produced with synthesizers but going through many different substyles as minimal synth, ebm, synthpop or italo-disco. Several releases/appearances came during 2015 and 2016, not only for their home base label Oráculo Records but as well for Mecanica Records (Poland), Cold Beats Records (Spain) and Seja Records (Netherlands). A great pleasure to present the debut album of one of the musical pillars within the minimal synthwave and dark electronics style in the world actually, who operates from his native Mexico being this one of the most influential countries within the Latin American scene called Stockhaussen “Cold Lines”. Joining the Unknown Precept forces are C.G.I. Records’ label head Matthew Weiner teaming up with Christopher Daresta as Pyramid Club. Being known for their T.W.I.N.S. and Anticipation solo activities, ‘Cyclic Obsession’ comes as the debut release of the four-handed formation taking its name from the eponymous venue which helped define the counter-culture and queer sound of lower Manhattan in the late 70’s. Recorded in their stronghold of Atlanta following a handful of tracks released via the jointly-operated D.K.A. Records, it shows the duo taking over primitive body music in its most physical and psychedelic dimension. Thick as a brick bass lines for the basement turmoil — reflecting the hazy vortex smoldering out of an ill-lighted nightclub. Think of spasmodic synth-driven tunes interspersed by convulsive vocals and throbbing snares, in which one could see the whites of the dancers’ eyes right before the lights turn back on. Arriving brashly via circuit-bent Casio keyboards and buzzing Commodore 64 synths, Brisbane experimental pop three-piece Spirit Bunny present their cacophonous self-titled debut LP. The band has been together since 2013 and the debut LP is a strong representation of their manic live sets. The record contains a combination of high energy, frenzied synths and chaotic drums that have been masterfully articulated to make great songs with pop formats. |
