Super-excited to welcome Amanda Brown of LA Vampires/Not Not Fun et al’s new psychedelic dub/dance imprint, 100% Silk, to Volcanic Tongue. Each release comes in suitably outré 1980’s style bags w/topless Visage-style disco cuties out-staring cocktails and waiting by the telephone for a dreamed-of trip to the videotheque. Here The Deeep follow-up their recent NNF cassette with a some whip-cracking almost The Normal-style electro hunch, piloting S&M rhythms into glitterball environs with laminal stratas of female-vox and eviscerated power-ballad atmospherics, diverting on the flip into some hallucinatory cocktail funk that’s all mirrorshades and shoulder pads. 

Great 12” EP on Amanda Brown’s swank 100% Silk imprint from a trio that features Daren Ho (Driphouse), Jeff Witscher (Rene Hell) and Brendan O’Keefe (Nimby). Some almost subliminally effective techno primitivism goes up against lurid synth futures, psychedelic beats, Kraut dynamics and “alien auto-tune and deep-dance data”.

Super minimal nocturnal techno/psychedelic kosmische on Amanda Brown’s (LA Vampires et al) suave new 100% Silk imprint: “Badass numbed out dystopian techno skeletons from this new Philly trio featuring Noah Anthony (Night Burger, ex-Social Junk). Cool and minimalist and pulsing like a ghost in the machine; dancefloor jams for those who've already entered the void.” – NNF. Already sold out at source.

Killer extended soundtrack hypnotics in classic dystopian z-grade style from Xander Harris, whose LP on Not Not Fun raised the bar for narcotic straight-to-video sonics: “Texas synth-saw massacre-ist Xander Harris cleans off the gnarly splatter of his NNF LP, Urban Gothic, in favor of something much more sleekly evil, polished chrome drum textures and endless Moroder-ized keyboard sweeps. A coldly elegant stalker soundtrack.” – NNF. 

“Ripping, ruling disco overdrive courtesy of Mi Ami/Jonas Reinhardt rhythm king, Damon Palermo. “I Can Feel The Heat” freebases 25 years worth of low-lit pleasure boogie into a condensed seven minute shredfest of electric abandon. The flip, “Clubhouse,” is equally mesmerizing, groove-riding nuanced 90’s drum patterns under a glitter sky of synth-strings and blood-pumping orchestra hits. Beyond epic.” – NNF.
