Guest deleted Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 MODERN LOVE label releases.../////////////// The Stranger - Watching Dead Empires In DecayIt's been five long years since Leyland Kirby has released anything as the Stranger, but the wait has been worth it, as his new album for the always-stellar Modern Love imprint pulls no punches. Watching Dead Empires in Decay casts Kirby's trademark clouds of unsettled spectral ambience anchored by a more kinetic pulse; nearly every track here is pushed forward by layers of slowly creeping, pulsating tribal pulsations crafted on what seems like funeral drums and abandoned scrap metal. In fact, most of the sonic source material on the album sounds crafted from percussion of all sorts; as such, it's perhaps one of the most simultaneously visceral and eerie records of Kirby's career, and provides a lovely counterpoint to the more romantic explorations of melancholy undertaken via his Caretaker albums. There's little to no remorse to be found on Watching Dead Empires; instead, the listener is left fending for themselves in a desolate, treacherous landscape that seems as though it has taken on a life (or afterlife) of its own, devouring any and all who dare to enter it. Whether you dig the haunted spectrality of Kirby's past works, or are more of an industrial/cold wave fiend who needs some fresh klang and boom in their diet, this album fully delivers, and is arguably one of Kirby's best, under any of his many pseudonyms.

Guest deleted Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 New Andy Stott & Demdike Stare up at boomkat: Two Limited pressings from Modern Love out now. First up, Demdike Stare offer up the fourth instalment in their Testpressing series , featuring more tormented darkside f**kery from Miles Whittaker and Sean Canty. On the A-side ‘Fail’ is a slowly descending panic attack of pealing hi-end frequencies and impending bass doom reaching a pit of noisy no return. On the flip, ‘Null Results’ bruks loose with a scything jungle attack; frantic 16th note hi-hats and cone-crumpling subs laced with a rudeboy mentasm to incite warehouse capoeira. Also out today: an incredibly dark one-sided 12" outing from Andy Stott, taking on New York “Heavy Metal hoarders” Batillus on a deadly reduction that pitches the original down into the abyss, sounding unlike anything we've heard from him before, growing from static drones into a knot of bass streaked with circuit-burning, red-lining distortion before bloodletting that demonic vocal… Demdike 12"s come in hand-stamped sleeves with an insert with artwork by Alex Solman, initial copies on coloured wax. Andy Stott 12" pressed in a limited run on transparent vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deleted Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 WOW. I never realized how much Demdike Stare, Andy Stott and some other Modern Love output is like Porter Ricks. And Biokinetics was put out in 1996! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 New Millie and Andrea up on Boomkat - just a single in lead-up to their full length this year. It's Miles and Andy Stott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deleted Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 New Millie and Andrea up on Boomkat - just a single in lead-up to their full length this year. It's Miles and Andy Stott Cool, thanks! Sounds pretty wild at times from that sample clip. Never been a fan of 12"s tho, especially single-sided. Here's the album description: Miles Whittaker and Andy Stott are Millie & Andrea, returning here with their first new material in 4 years, pre-empting the long-delayed release of their debut album for Modern Love later on this year. This one-sided pressing features non-album cut 'Stage 2', an Andrea production straddling delirious Trap signatures pushed into the red with a f**ckload of found sounds squashed into the mix. We'd say it's a taster for the album but - in all honesty - it sounds nothing like anything that's on there. 500 copies, one sided 12", mastered and cut by Matt Colton, pressed at Pallas.

Guest deleted Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Liam Morley and Dan Valentine aka Rainer Veil return with New Brutalism, an exploration of angular, brittle club music. Referencing the stripped-down, utilitarian aesthetic of Brutalist architecture, the five tracks here mine looped, blocky source material gradually embellished with more complex, percussive and atmospheric layers that are at once robust and introspective. From the opening woodblock/rave dismantling of "UK Will Not Survive" to the heady hardcore of "Three Day Jag," the EP evokes a distinctly Northern British Weltanschauung. Rainer Veil is pretty awesome. https://soundcloud.com/rainerveil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unfunfionn Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 That new Demdike Stare is phenomenal. I own a lot of their stuff from right back in the beginning and I love where they've taken their style since the test pressing series.

rooks Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Ayy glad there's still some discerning peeps here. Ordered this immediately this morning. Miss the old witchy haunted forest stuff, but I liked the testpressings and wonderland. Just hope they can hit a stride that's more unique than "vocal-less Stott" or just like the Millie and Andrea stuff. Mourning Wood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
