UPCOMING: Burial & Four Tet & Thom Yorke Collab 12" (Text Records)

Written By 3 - March 18 2011

Due out soon, to pre-order please contact us at info@conch.co.nz

“We are excited to announce the latest release from Kieran Hebden’s brilliant TEXT RECORDS… “A two track collaborative twelve inch from Burial + Four Tet + Thom Yorke… “A-side is titled ‘EGO’, AA-side titled ‘MIRROR’. Plain black house bag and black label.

Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, Four Tet, and dubstep enigma Burial have teamed up for a  12? on Four Tet’s Text record label. A press release notes that both tracks will air tonight, 11:00 p.m. GMT, on UK radio station Rinse FM during Four Tet’s session with UK knob-twiddler Floating Points.

Between them Thom Yorke, Burial and Four Tet are responsible for some of the most inventive, spell binding and emotionally involving music Britain has produced over the past decade. Now the three of them have confirmed details of a potentially fantastic 12 inch. It is not yet known to what extent each will be involved, although the cast list alone makes this big news. Of course, Four Tet and Burial have worked together before. The pair released a split 12 inch on Text, which has gone on to become a collector’s item. Kept to a limited edition, the two producers cut a pair of tracks which veered between dubstep, garage and IDM.

Thom Yorke is the odd one out, having been remixed by both producers yet never working directly with them. Fresh from the artistic success of ‘The King Of Limbs’ the new 12 inch is the latest blast of material the songwriter has been involved in. Meawhile, Four Tet has been in the mood for collaboration recently. Kiren Hebden is working on another 12 inch with Caribou producer Dan Snaith, the results of which are set to drop later this Spring.

UPCOMING: Kode9 & The Spaceape - Otherman / Love Is The Drug (ft Cha Cha) (HYPERDUB)

Written By 3 - March 17 2011

Due for release April 2011, to pre-order please contact us at info@conch.co.nz

Tracklisting & Soundclips: A. Otherman AA. Love Is The Drug (ft Cha Cha)

Otherman’ backed with ‘Love Is The Drug’ is the lead single from Kode9 And The Spaceape's second long player 'Black Sun'. Coming from oblique angles, these two songs introduce the breadth of the album.

‘Otherman’ opens with a sombre, arpeggiated march built from wavering analogue synth drones, lulling the listener until Spaceape's cracked communique interrupts the flow with downtrodden descriptions, wrapped around lop-sided rhythms. Sombre, flatline funk.

‘Love Is The Drug’ features the vocals of Cha Cha, a singer from Shanghai, who guests across four tracks on the album. ‘Love Is The Drug’ is ambiguously connected to house music by speed, but operates on a much rawer emotional level here, over a droning synth and an aggressively coiling drum pattern with the sound of a pumping heartbeat at the centre.  Cha Cha's vocals drift into a sensual pattern as the melody soars beneath her, before confirming the suffocation of love, with Spaceape whispering over her shoulder.
