Hey Everyone,

Horror Part 1 by Entertainment has been released.   Horror is the first song on the EP.

Emerging from the new crop of US underground acts updating the American Deathrock + UK Post Punk aesthetic. Atlanta based Entertainment is raw and bleak. Channeling the best parts of early 80s goth from a thousand years away. They’ve often been described as a perfect amalgamation of the sum of their influences, “the sound of death on vinyl, wrapped in layers of spaced-out dub, post punk shards, tinny synths, and cavernous silence.” - PostPunk.com

Horror Part 1 is the new EP, following the release of the singles “Maggot Church” (Fall 2020) and “Voyeur” Spring (2021). It features updated versions these 2 singles and 2 new tracks, bringing a lean but eviscerating stark darkness, seeped in glammed up desperation and fractured grooves. Horror Part 1 is Entertainment’s first definitive statement since their genre defying and “ahead-of-it’s-time” debut album Gender (2009). The Ep sees the band re-emerge from a decade of consistent touring, fractured relationships, loss, and line-up shifts as if no time has passed, to deal with themes of gender identity, obsession, desire, and existential dread through the lens of 80’s VHS Horror, fetishized romanticism, and romantic fetishism.

Horror Part 1 was co-mixed by the band and Tom Ashton (of legendary Leeds, UK band March Violets), and mastered by Matt McJunkins (The Beta Band, Poppy, Puscifer,), the cover is designed with a font treatment by NY fine artist Matthew Brannon.

take care,

Gavin

Theodor  "In The Flesh" EP WWA 014
Release Date: 15.10.2015

We are pleased to release this EP from our friend and musical collaborator, Theodor. After playing in bands as a drummer, he has been producing since 2013 in Toronto, an established electronic scene where underground dance artists like Art Department and Azari & III started their careers. Theodor showed his talent early on with the track “Soft Robot” on our label compilation “Who We Are Vol. 02”. With this release he delivers yet again with the help of WWA's in-house talent.
All three original mixes are well-crafted deep house gems and we are excited to partner two tracks  with a remix by a capable “Who We Are” artist.
Up first, the title track “In the Flesh” features a vocal hook delivered by guest collaborator Siemko, dismantled and layered into a mid-tempo soundscape. 
The second track “Bathed in Blue Light” is a magic moment on the dance floor: raw percussion, spiky arpeggios and sweet synth sounds culminate when the sun rises after the perfect night out. With his remix, Thomas Leyh transposes that feeling into a deep techno meditation. More than enough drama for the night.
Finally, “Yang” is an hypnotic melody that rolls along inside a darker groove, the synths taking a dramatic arc before breaking the tension — a euphoric affair that will get things moving in a hurry. Steffen Sonnenschein handles the remix the way only he can, subliminal, deep and dense to the end.
