From the new Umor Rex Living on Superstition debut LP of New York native James Place (a.k.a. Phil Tortoroli) comes the “Lyras Grin” Scuba Death RMX (a.k.a. Ricardo Donoso). After the success of his last year’s Opal Tapes release An Entire Matchbook A Night — including Ricardo Donoso’s Kathexis LP, A Song For Echo — the crumbling sounds of “Lyras Grin” becomes more devastating in comprehension, as the originator tends to be more minimal in the crash, the other goes for an entire meltdown post-obliteration. Drones into beats that climax from an echoplex of pure birthed sound, “Lyras Grin” gets drowned in a vat of copper and comes out half metallic.
Living on Superstition “was composed using an intricate collection of analog equipment, including the TR-606, Casio SK-1, SP1200, and a multitude of vinyl and tape-based samples. Mastered by M. Geddes Gengras.” Better yet, it’s out TODAY!!! Like, right now, head on over to Umor Rex (or Thrill Jockey for distribution) and
