The
latest release on Mute's developing Liberation Technologies label
presents the work of American producer Container (Ren Schofield). The
label seems like a natural home for an aggressively experimental EP
that seems to acknowledge the influence of other, now historic,
producers.
Opener
Glaze
has
an almost
poppy beat offset by harsher noise textures. It also recalls the work
of Nova Mute artist 2nd
Gen and also has a trace of the early electronic spirit of Mute.
Slush
is
harsher and more abrasive track with an aggressive, punky sound full
of nagging details. In contrast, Complex
is quite
Punky in spirit, featuring raw textures and a strange niggling sound
that might be a flanged voice sample. Whatever the source, it's been
successfully designed to grate and to prevent things getting too
linear.
The
title track is based around a harsh, scouring pattern with sudden
blares and bleepy details. It's a very rough and urgent track, as
reflected in the media overdose theme of the video:
