Utility Fog

Sunday, 15th of June, 2014

Second-last show before I head on tour overseas for a little over 7 weeks.

LISTEN AGAIN yada yada... stream over there, link below...

We have an odd but sweet dub-style collaboration between Greg Haines & Peter Broderick, a sneak preview of new Earth, who play at Manning Bar this Thursday, and then just a bit of amazing Irish black metal from Altar of Plagues, including a remix by Ben Frost from the Japanese release of the album from last year... to introduce Altar of Plagues' new electronic project WIFE - although the first EP was from 2012. His talent for contemporary beats with a slight industrial bent and pop vocals is almost disturbing, given the perfect riffage & screaming he was producing before...
US ex-pat M.E.S.H. is now based in Berlin and making crunchy broken-up beats for experimental label PAN, one of the more straightforwardly beat-oriented things they've done. V/VM's James Leyland Kirby has released some woozily sickly sweet stuff under his middle name, but the Intrigue & Stuff series, from each of whose four EP's we took a track tonight, highlights the darker sound of his electronic productions, very sci-fi and very horror...
And then some local experimental & electronic producers - all free on Bandcamp. Brisbane's EVA comes courtesy of a compilation from Vexed Axis. Young Sydney producer Elbee has has intricate computer game beats & lush melodies. Comatone brings one of the last tracks from the last of Feral Media's Seasons EPs, and Canberra's Gatherer has a minimal synth study from another of his Canons EPs.
