Get psyched, because Justin Pearson (Retox, The Locust), Nathan Joyner (Hot Nerds), and Jung Sing (Maniqui Lazer) are collaborating again in the form of All Leather after a prolonged absence, and the fruits of their labor have brought a new single that picks up right where they left off, maintaining the warped-apocalyptic-electronic genre they’ve already claimed, but with what is quite possibly an even darker and heavier sound than in previous releases. This 7″ single, titled “An Insufficient Apology”, is the first new material since a hiatus in 2012 following the release of their LP, “When I Grow up, I Wanna Fuck Like a Girl” in 2010.

Side A features the title track, “An Insufficient Apology”, with Pearson’s aggressive howls over a low, steady, mechanical beat interspersed with high-pitched robotic synth dissonance.

The B side includes a cover of Dave Van Ronk’s “Luang Prabang”, covering a tongue-in-cheek American Folk protest song originally written about the Vietnam War from All Leather’s unique perspective: with heavy distortion, snarling grit, and electronic grime.

So, have you missed that feeling of impending disaster, reminding you that the world is going to shit and things probably aren’t going to be okay? Good. All Leather will bring all of that flooding back.

This release will be limited to 500 copies on color vinyl.

“An Insufficient Apology”
Gimme better bad news and jack off queues. 
Adjust the holed pavement, use a holy excuse.
Beneath the hard layer is a beach with a bruise.
It’s God’s trash vortex, drink more booze.
It’s a vowel movement not the stupid blues.
Fuck you osmosis, I’ve paid my dues.
Styrofoam forever after seconds of use.
Who can find another way to revive abuse?
It’s that heartbreaking insignificance.
Good things for bad people, moral sense.
God’s muscles tense, coincidence?
Write it off as a business expense. 
Wow, take a bow.
Now, long hair lowbrow,
thou, a marriage vow?
Shave the beast and
throw in the towel.
Now, don’t ask how.
“How is divorce allowed?”
Wow, dead puppy chow,
go ahead and eat it 
because we all know how.

It's not very often that you get to speak with an artist who's been hailed as a musical pioneer.  It's also not very often that that musical pioneer happened to be your high school English teacher.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Paul Lemos, founder and lead singer of Controlled Bleeding, nearly ten years after seeing him last.  Instead of discussing Of Mice and Men and The Catcher in the Rye, Paul delved into tales of being banished from his home as a youth and his quest to make music his way.

Although he's been involved in a number of projects under various titles, i.e. Breastfed Yak, Controlled Bleeding is Lemos and Lemos is Controlled Bleeding.  The group amassed a global cult following as it blazed a trail from the late 70's and on in a genre no one could really put a finger on. According to their website, "The band's classic first album, KNEES AND BONES...stands as one of the earliest documents of American power electronics...issued in 1983."  Despite the label, the group is truly experimental and no two albums seem to sound alike.  Per their Facebook page, we'll just go with "Experimentalprogfusionfuckery."

Lemos is an incredibly insightful, creative, and sometimes ghostly artist who has birthed some of the loudest and most eclectic music I have ever heard in my life.  Perusing Controlled Bleeding's discography on Spotify is not a journey for the light hearted but one that all true music fans must embark on.

Controlled Bleeding Interview

Nawiązując do przyjętej przez twórców estetyki gry – jej prostej czy też uproszczonej formy graficznej, pewnej umowności, symboliki, ustaliliśmy wspólnie, że oprawa dźwiękowa powinna nosić odpowiadające tym założeniom cechy.
Tak więc wiele dźwięków gry jest “uproszczonych”, o celowo zmniejszonej charakterystyce barwowej, “zdławionych” niską głębią bitową i częstotliwościami próbkowania.
Z uwagi na istotny element fabularny i związany z nim koncept naszego (gracza) położenia względem świata gry, SuperHot nie posiada muzyki rytmicznej, lecz utwory z pogranicza soundscape’u i muzyki akusmatycznej, pogłębiające doznania emocjonalne i osadzające gracza w zastanej rzeczywistości SuperHota w sposób możliwie naturalny.

Lyrics to "Become Machine" by Machines With Human Skin written by Adrian Halo
(Part of the official soundtrack to the book
Rock N' Roll Death Patrol by Michael Allen Rose)

It’s a race to the bottom with no end in sight
The daily news keeps us up at night
They tell us what we want to believe
Living a nightmare
There’s no reprieve 


***You are the revolution
The ideal evolution
Become machine! 
Disconnect from the chaos 
Destroy your circuitry 
Become machine!
Put on your masks
Stand up, fight back
Become machine!


Immigrant children shot at the border
Flint Michigan without any water
Government shutdown for 19 days
It’s too late now,
We’re caught up in the craze

Machines With Human Skin - Become Machine
