SCALPING share ‘Tether’, the latest single from their debut album ‘Void’. The track features Oakland-based vocalist and experimenter DÆMON, whose kinetic, aggressive, and demonic futurist emcee vocals take centre stage and elevate the chugging industrial instrumental.

DÆMON aka Jahsiri Asabi-Shakir uses lyricism as a means to express a full spectrum of emotions, abstract ideas, and social commentary. DÆMON draws from his personal experience for inspiration in a dissociative, non-committal manner, illustrating vivid imagery through storytelling and an array of literary devices.


“Tether was the first song that came together for the album back before the first lockdown and really felt like the start of the next chapter of the band.

Almost immediately we knew we wanted to get vocals on this track and we were tearing our hair out trying to find vocalists who felt appropriate. Between hearing DÆMON's ‘DXE’ EP on Infinite Machine and his lyrics often centered around technology it seemed like an obvious fit.

After months of back and forth across continents and various versions of demos being spliced together, we eventually landed on a version of the vocals which showcased so many of DÆMON's vocal styles but still left space for the track to breathe. The final vocals were recorded remotely in a studio in Paris.

Track reminiscent of Zero7 or Hooverphonic. WIP with more to go but happy with the first steps. 

Anything

Deep sounds from way out there. Imagine drifting without a name in the open seas, the water ready to swallow you whole and the sun cooking your coherent thoughts. Somewhere deep inside a peace and oneness with this feeling sets in.

Upon the sea

This is just a text, nothing to see here. Playing with some sounds. Short and unfinished.
