Thug Entrancer, the nom de plume of Denver mainstay Ryan McRyhew, released one of our favorite albums of 2014 so far, with Death After Life. The album consisted of 10 rhythmically-fucked tracks, five of which were self-released last year on his Laser Palace imprint and five new ones exclusive to the Software version.
“Death After Life VI” is one of the new tracks, a squiggly, sedated hybridization of dance tropes that finds its visual complement here with surreal, off-colored digiscapes and flashing, glitched-out VHS geometry, courtesy of Montreal-based artist Sabrina Ratté. It’s arm’s-length hypnotism, Comte de Lautréamont in The Red Tower, José Santiago behind the bushes.
