House of Low Culture, EMS, Daniel Menche & Caustic Touch four-way split
Available now from Accident Prone, we present the four-way split album that features contributions from House of Low Culture, EMS, Daniel Menche & Caustic Touch to enrich your environment with visceral & acerbic audio textures. An earthy & sometimes eerie array of ambient works for people who prefer their music on the droning end of the ambient spectrum; Accident Prone has collected a series of works to transform the most mundane of days into an existential Eraserhead styled outing.
House of Low Culture kicks it off with “The Pervasive Mind” that muddles about for nearly the first half that then enters the sound of a turbine-powered wind-tunnel. Next up is “Desiccating Wind” where the electrically imbued blasts of shrieking air strike from channel to channel like dry gusts of blaring trebel that have been derived of all moisture. Caustic Touch continues this shrill motif with the addition of suspenseful heartbeat pulses on “Coarse Harrowing” that descends into the blistering blaze of “Even Now, Morning Will Not Come” that imagines being stuck in the void of night (with no dawn in sight). Daniel Menche’s “Is She Ectroplasm?” is an entertaining experiment with jagged instrumentation frequencies that sometimes resembles vague tribal percussion consumed by a dissonance that ultimately unravels into acoustic pieces at the end of 10 minutes plus piece. EMS brings the collective split to an end on “Hierarchy of Bodies” that is the most straight forward electro-pop number on the record that makes for the perfect urban exploration soundtrack for adventures into the abandoned chambers of the unknown—with the ear buds securely fastened-in tight. Vern Avola of EMS shared the following exclusive thoughts about the new four-way split:
There is so much love and friendship involved in the creation of this split, it’s kind of ridiculous. I was thrilled to discover how cohesive our tracks are—knowing we didn’t talk about what we were going to each submit. I don’t know what’s in store, but I look forward to the future of our fellowship. Special thanks to Faith and Aaron for classing up the title of my track (it was originally a quote from the Garfield mug I was drinking coffee out of while mixing).
The four-way split is available now via Accident Prone.
