Single-handedly making the word “pus” that much cooler and more offensive to the brain, Brian Chippendale belies the disposition of those pussy chipmunks with his carnivorous assault on the snare. Surely you’re familiar with his more electric associations, but his solo Black Pus project is about to gain some major energy, courtesy of a release through the Chicago-based indie (but not impoverished) label Thrill Jockey.
All My Relations comes out March 19, and all of the adjectives used to describe Chippendale’s previous musical work have rightly reconvened: “furious,” “physicality,” “voracious,” “unrestrained.” By contrast, however, and as a press release notes, this album will be the first for which Chippendale has “fully embraced” the recording studio and all of its amenities. Recording and production duties were assumed by Keith Souza and Seth Manchester at Machines With Magnets in Pawtucket, RI. The result, metaphorically, is an urban riot underneath a spotlight. Clarity meets chaos, with an undoubtedly slight pop element “more fully integrated.” As always, brace yourselves. See the video below.
