On his debut solo LP ‘Utility’, Barker [@voltek] turns his focus toward melding experimentation and dancefloor pragmatism with the psychology behind the musical decision making process.

‘Utility’ is a playful but non-ironic musical approach to a whole spectrum of utilitarian and transhumanist ideas: from models for quantifying pleasure and “gradients of bliss” to abolishing suffering for sentient beings (not just people) through the ethical use of drugs and nanotechnology. Over nine tracks, Barker’s vision ebbs and flows through waves of deeply psychedelic musical vignettes; free-floating and futuristic melodies and rhythms as targeted brain stimulation.

Like a shadowplay for endtimes.

Tamburi Neri, a duo from Milan, joins Worst Records' strange catalogue with their debut LP. Soberly named « Ombre », it's an organic entity filled with worry. If we discover again with pleasure their signature scarce and elegant style which drew the tension of their first releases, everything here is sewn as a delicate echo chamber. Hiroko's voice responds to a relentless male spoken word, with invocations sometimes vaporous and sometimes lyrical. It's a poetic canvas suspended over the void and balanced by hypnotic rythms on one side and synthetic avant-garde minimalism on the other.
This eighth pannel of Worst's catalogue sets itself as a contemporanean piece far away from genre identifications and beautifully possessed in equal freshness and enlightening maturity.

Comme un clair-obscur pour temps morts.

Tamburi Neri, duo milanais, rejoint le drôle de catalogue de Worst Records avec rien moins que leur premier LP. Le sobrement nommé « Ombre » est un objet aussi organique que pétri d'inquiétude. Si l'on retrouve ici leur style parfois minimaliste et décharné à l'élégance toute arty qui faisait le ferment de leurs premiers disques, c'est une chambre d'écho à l'incroyable finesse qu'ils déploient ici. Au spoken word tissant le canevas des tableaux de chaque track répond la voix de Hiroko, tantôt invocatrice tantôt fantomatique ou bien lyrique. Une trame poétique toujours portée par un équilibre ténu entre rythmes hypnotiques et minimalisme synthétique aux accents d'avant-garde des temps passés. Ce huitième volet du catalogue de Worst se pose ainsi comme une pièce contemporaine inclassable et habitée, dont la fraîcheur n'a décidément d'égale que la maturité lumineuse.
