tape drift press release...

locrian / century plants - "dissolvers" lp tape drift’s first excursion into vinyl presents this massive split lp from two duos, one from chicago, one upstate new york. these groups have been honing their unique and personal brands of sound for years, and both approach the task in similar ways, drawing equally from noise, drone, psych, kraut, minimalism, and metal influences. each band offers up their best recorded work yet here, raising the stakes another huge notch. the locrian side demonstrates their phenomenal range, and beautifully adds to their well established oeuvre with new and complex elements. century plants make their first appearance on wax, and show how far they’ve progressed in a few short years, bringing two subtly dark tracks that build in intensity. a slow burner, this lp is the rare split that sounds like a unified whole, and the pairing makes perfect sense.  intense building waves of sound, dense drones, feedback, power electronics, noise, psychedelic guitars, swirling synths and vox are all in the mix in ways only these two bands could pull off.  a dark, dense, and ominous record, dissolvers is also deeply cloaked in mystery and spaciousness. mastered by james plotkin for maximum heavy spectral sound, this is a must own record for noise, drone, psych, and metal heads alike. with design by terence hannum of locrian, and art by scott treleaven, the lp is packaged in a black jacket with silkscreened silver leaf ink, and a special double-sided color insert.
