it's a paratext of the noise music abstracted from its context

personally i think this music sounds like shit, but what makes it good is the paratext abstracted from its context. that's some pretty good stuff.

nothing stanton in the way of you making your own cool paratext abstracted from context islamodrone records, burt i guess you have better things to do

fyi my ouvre on ilx is a similarly themed middle east fetishism paratextual art project but in the medium of 'message board textual aesthetics' as opposed to leftfield electronica.

Ahhh this one’s a real peach. Veering far from what we expected, ‘Games Have Rules’ is a brilliant late night excursion made in the spirit of classic Artificial Intelligence albums, instantly reminding us of that killer first Reaganz (Move D & Jonah Sharp) album from ’94 with it’s atmospheric soundscaping and nods to John Carpenter.

True story: I was interviewing Ty Dolla Sign in late 2012 and he asked what I'd been listening to (he's very musically curious) and I pt him on to Vatican Shadow. No collab as of yet but there's still hope imo

it's interesting! not sure how I felt about all the Genesis Breyer P-Orridge vocal clips used as a connecting thread although it was an interesting choice
― mh, Monday, 15 April 2019 18:03 (five years ago) link
the genesis stuff makes it a nope for me, which sucks cause i'd prob be into it otherwise
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Monday, 15 April 2019 18:53 (five years ago) link
definitely seems like a very odd time to be making that particular decision
I guess I might have undersold the types of "interesting" there
― mh, Monday, 15 April 2019 18:58 (five years ago) link
I'm not sure "tone-deafness" is quite the right phrase in that RA review, it implies a kind of thoughtlessness. There's no way an artist as conscious of media narrative and violent imagery as Fernow didn't know exactly what he was doing.
― Matt DC, Monday, 15 April 2019 19:15 (five years ago) link
maybe that consciousness isn't the same type people like to think it is

New LP out tomorrow, Persian Pillars of the Gasoline Era.
His approach to titles is unsettlingly formulaic.

I'm surprised Persian Pillars has been ignored for EOY lists or at all. It's great.

Got Vatican Shadow on this evening, almost certainly as a consequence of that recent amazing post in the politics thread. I’ve got to give DF props for calling a track “more of the same” which is the most ridiculously on the nose title ever

Pretty good article going deep on Fernow's connections to the far-right:

Didn't expect the side swipes at St0suy. They were fair, from the context of the article, but I thought everyone loved that guy. Anyway, saw St0suy posted something on his Twitter about it this morning, but I haven't had a chance to read that yet.

It is worth reading:
A piece on Dominick Fernow and his links to artists with right wing ideologies was published Friday. I spent the weekend thinking of my laziness and complacency re: these connections and wanted to post the below. It's from a letter I wrote to the piece's author, @amazinggaijin pic.twitter.com/CfyiNYMTfP— brandonstosuy (@brandonstosuy) July 12, 2021

Disappointing, but not all that surprising. Every time someone who produces negative art that I connect with turns out to be a creep, I wonder what about it hooked me in the first place. It's a concern. I guess it's a thing where we're both angry about things - just turns out they were coming at that shit from the opposite side of the spectrum. I loved DSO before I found out about that dude, too.
