| | pre-album teaser ep/single from themselves & the notwist, acting in harmony as “13 & god”. features two 13 & god originals, plus a remix by why? & alias and another by yours truly (taking the form of two separate entities; a slow burner w/guitar, and a skittering 180bpm dancefloor epic). fans of both the weilheim collective’s general-midi post rock and dose, dax, and jel’s beat constructs & motor-rhythm ululation will want to climb aboard poste haste... |
| | the men of station 12-inch is the world’s first introduction to the musical monument that is the 13 & god album — the auspicious meeting of minds and bodies that emerged from a german september shared by anticon’s themselves and the notwist. 13 & god’s debut single bleeds warmth and love onto riding melancholia. the plain words of markus acher steal the spotlight, curling themselves around the band’s music, while b-side “soft atlas” showcases some of doseone’s finer neuroses. his poetry calls the earth’s axis into question over a track that pulses with punched-out drums, only to be leveled by subtle guitar pluck and vocal harmony.
exclusive to this release are two sweeping remixes. the icy cold atmospherics of 13 & god’s “into the trees” are reimagined in dub by why?, who hijacks dose’s lyrics and completely resings them in his characteristic drawl. the other remix, “l’atlas flexible / von gradleute,” is hrvatski’s skittering six-minute mashup of “soft atlas” and “men of station.” it’s a gorgeous rebirth that only hints at the genre-defying range found on the upcoming full-length. |
