ACOLYTES
RUPTURE

Departing from the band based setup of previous releases, Acolytes continue their exploration of loop based paradigms with Rupture. The release expands upon the murky jarring patchwork asthetic of the 2012 re/lease, replacing brooding song structures with a more driving, visceral and relentless sound. Rupture encap/sulates the paranoia and agnst felt in an increasingly unrecognisable world. Liquified rhythms attempt to define an unmappable headspace typified by IO overload and wired hyperactivity, become mired in deep delays and sedate un/ease.While ostensibly computer music, tracks such as "feelings 2" deviate from t... + INFO

CHEW FROM THE MIND

Barnett is a Chicago-based electronic musician known for his work with dark ambient group Oakeater and collaborative work in Barnett & Coloccia on Blackest Ever Black, in addition to a handful of cassettes and collaborative projects.
