Debut recording from two troubadours of oppositional creep. Inspired by Philip K. Dick and the useless machines that haunt us all, Disfigured with Abbreviations is a roundtable exquisite corpse which crawls through a miraculous environment, at once sensual and sinister. How is it that the perpetual promise of a future lands us in a deeper quagmire? How do two gentlemen with scruffy vocabularies fall into a sonic landscape of such haunted beauty?
Following their debut live performance on the rooftop of a bakery in Northcote, Victoria in January 2018 Harwood and Hopkins soon set about making a recording. Initially structured with individual recordings placed on each other regardless of content and positioning. These works soon evolved into a rich labyrinth of found sound, field recordings, electronics and voice with all elements mapping out a landscape heroic in it’s embracing of utter failure.
Mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi with artwork by MP Hopkins and Mark Harwood. Comes with a printed inner disco sleeve housed in a charming reverse board sleeve.
Limited edition of 250 copies.
Matthew P. Hopkins et Mark Harwood s’inspirent de Philip K. Dick pour créer un univers trouble et fantasmatique où souffle de bande, bruits de micros et rumeur menaçante participent à la mutation du réel. Là aussi nous sommes projetés entre rêve et réalité, dans un imaginaire paysager où temps et espace se dilatent pour accéder à une nouvelle dimension !
Mastering : Giuseppe Ielasi.
250 copies.
