| | | audiobot (belgium) #bot 002 ep persona “i keep breaking you” seven inch single record - i keep breaking you
- my 21st century electroblues can beat up your 21st century electroblues
| cool little micro-editioneer from mr. cook. eric’s solo steel drum & electronics concert @ zach’s house in ann arbor last year really was one of my favorite performances in a while.
here we get two cut up rhythm nuggets ... the a working some fretless gimbri lines with digital scatter-drums & grime-voices. flip with long gated piano intro before dropping some fairly energy-mined ringmod delayline percussion & sub bass drops. good ... |

| scrawled in crayon for ages, here's the emotionally direct art out of scribbles that have rushed through the detroit underground scene in the past years. having spent several months on teeth gnarling and ankle surgery, eric cook decided to abandon the limitations of group affinities. without surrendering his alternative wider shorelines, he quickly noticed the amount of output was inversely proportional to the number of people involved in the project. since then he's kept on processing source sounds into glorious cacophony.
the title-track centres around the contradictory nature of the guitar, where technology makes primitive wood and wire howl. the abrasive artificial hiccup sound explores multiple paths, creating a troubling almost chokelike atmosphere from a suspensful distressed blues riff, that shakes nostalgic hands with cook's tribute to the ill-conceived psych-blues of muddy waters and his musical past with groups as bantam rooster and gravitar. his organic manipulations, filmic approach and hyperelectronic excursions into caffeine headaches have kept his music away from being morphed into a complete disorientated cliché. not all caught up in smoke, he shakes studio hands briefly with his name is alive's warn defever. if it wasn't agreed to walk and spin out weepily dancefloor expression, it would be a fairly accurate description of ecstatic torchlighting and ghosttalking. |
