AUTUMNS - DYSLEXIA TRACKS

Touch Sensitive Records | TSR11 | 12” Vinyl / Digital 
Released: Friday 3rd November 2017

Autumns is the solo project of Christian Donaghey from Derry, Northern Ireland.

Following several releases on Downwards and Clan Destine and hot on the heels of his debut LP, ‘Suffocating Brothers’, the ‘Dyslexia Tracks’ EP sees Autumns deliver 5 tracks and 38 minutes of brutal beauty for Touch Sensitive.

Aligning itself closely to his recent devastating live performances - where snares (and belts) crack like whips and synthesizers “wriggle like a fucking eel” - ‘Dyslexia Tracks’ completes Autumns’ journey from his post-punk beginnings to producing some of the tautest and toughest electronic music we’ve heard in some time.
From the Hidden Reverse of Whitehouse and Throbbing Gristle to the futurism of Drexciya, Underground Resistance and other Detroit dons, Autumns sucks up influence and spits it out onto the darkest, sweatiest, haze-filled dance floors.

Alongside progressive appearances on cult labels and an acclaimed collaboration with renowned techno experimentalist Samuel Kerridge at the 2016 edition of Paris Fashion Week, Donaghey’s restless work ethic has seen him share stages in Europe and the US with The KVB, Lust For Youth, Beak>, Silent Servant & DVA Damas.

Autumns will play an extensive run of shows throughout Europe in support of ‘Dyslexia Tracks’ and his debut album.

Dyslexia Tracks

Autumns - Self Consumed

Northern Irish minimal wave/techno artist @autumns has a new EP out on Belfast label @touchsensitiverecords this Friday. 'Dyslexia Tracks' follows releases on Downwards and Clan Destine, and completes Autumns' journey from post-punk beginnings to devastating electronic artist.

We're very happy to present one of the new tracks, delicately titled 'You're A Right Useless Cunt Aren't You' - a raw, dripping slab of cold electro that might seem more at home dangling from a butcher's hook. The video is appropriately gritty as well, like a frazzled VHS that's just been retrieved after years nestled down the back of the radiator.

Thought Creature - Talk In Tounges

ARTIST: Bonny Doon
ALBUM TITLE: Longwave
LABEL: Woodsist
CATALOG NUMBER: woodsist093
RELEASE DATE: March 23, 2018

Arriving in the early months of 2017, Bonny Doon’s self-titled debut was a warm introduction to the Detroit quartet for many. Hazy and bright, the album’s woozy melodies and swirling webs of summery guitar textures were easily ingested as low-key slacker pop, blissfully awash in lo-fi sensibilities and dreamy ambiance. But the nonchalant breeziness belied a serious attention to songcraft that beckoned careful listening, and hinted at depths yet unexplored. Lo and behold, before the ink was even dry on the first record, work had already begun on its follow-up Longwave, a conscious about-face from the sonic experimentation of the first album, and a journey inward.

Opting for spontaneity and simplicity over the exploration of layers and textures that defined the first record, the band architected an incredibly intimate sound for these new songs. The album was tracked with minimal overdubs or production flourishes, constructing a frame that is spare and understated. The songs on Longwave amble through moonlit fields of melancholy guitar leads and self-reflection, the collection unfolding almost as one uninterrupted conversation with self. The session aimed to capture the band at their essence. With the superfluous stripped away, a gentle but steadfast spiritual core is revealed as the backbone of Bonny Doon’s cosmic American music.

Vive la Void - Red Rider

The self-titled debut for the trans-Atlantic project Split Cranium was a ferocious homage to Nordic d-beat masters like Terveet Kädet and Anti Cimex. The album’s no-frills barrage of charged hardcore might have been a little orthodox in its blitzkrieg riffage, stampeding pace, and gravel-throated ire, but its straightforward approach was an unexpected departure for bandmasters Aaron Turner and Jussi Lehtisalo. While Turner has hinted at an affinity for crust classics in the base misanthropy of Old Man Gloom and Lehtisalo toyed with peace punk aesthetics on Circle albums like Panic, neither musician has ever done such a faithful approximation of a pre-existing sound. But for two artists with extensive catalogs of challenging and groundbreaking music to take a stab at working within an established framework was, in its own way, an exhilarating middle finger.

Six years later, Split Cranium returns with their sophomore album I’m The Devil and I’m Okay. Turner and Lehtisalo waste no time establishing their new mission statement, opening the album with Popol Vuh-inspired keyboards by Faith Coloccia (Mamiffer, Mara) that saturate the ruthless reinterpretation of the Discharge template on “Evil Hands”. The contrasting breaths of sublime ambience serve to highlight the savagery abetted by bassist Nate Newton (Converge, Doomriders, Old Man Gloom) and Tomi Leppänen (Circle, K-X-P), making I’m The Devil and I’m Okay simultaneously more sonically rounded and more visceral and vicious. “We wanted to make a record that was less straightforward than the first one,” Turner says of their method. “Jussi loves melody and I love dissonance and noise, so that is probably the healthy creative contrast that made this record what it is.”

While Split Cranium continues to be driven by the blazing guitar malaise of Lehtisalo and the harrowing bellows of Turner, the melodic counterpoint provided by Newton on “Wet Shadow”, the ethereal vocals summoned by Coloccia on “Ingurgitated Liquids” and “Death Bed – The Yellow Room”, and the squalls of white noise on “Whirling Dusk” are a but a few of the components that knock I’m The Devil and I’m Okay off the axis of traditional d-beat hardcore. The strongest records in the anarcho-punk canon have figured out ways to inject melody or push extremes without diffusing their punch or diminishing their hooks. Split Cranium retains the principal components of speed and vitriol while expanding their frequency spectrum into realms of both beauty and sheer ugliness, making I’m The Devil and I’m Okay a white-knuckle headfuck in a realm of sterile imitations.
