LIVE AT FREDA'S 'DEAD WEAPONS' - JUNE 2014

From NIMH: "I first encountered Lucy Phelan on my earliest trips to Sydney when she was involved in all ages collective Chooch-A-Bahn, an inspiring initiative that brought together a generation of DIY musicians and encouraged more. Since then she’s been part of longstanding no wave duo Naked On The Vague, murky girl group Knitted Abyss and extraterrestrial drone project Half High, and now operates solo as Lucy Cliche. After stealing the show at our Steve Summers party, I proposed a release of her wavey techno on NIMH Records, with Drain Down dropping months later. Here she is recorded at her best, live at the Melbourne EP launch alongside DJ Jonnine Standish (HTRK), Lobster Theremin’s Daze, the debut performance of Nicky Crane, Myles Mac and myself. Drain Down is still available on vinyl through Juno, Rush Hour and Lighthouse, and also digitally via Juno Download".

AST087: LOOSE-Y CRUNCHÈ - UNRULY TOP C42 

  I have long been a fan of all of Lucy Phelan’s projects; the early distorted no-wave of Naked On The Vague, the uneasy dark ambience of Half High (who appeared on AST’s first vinyl release) and obviously her current occupation as club-maestro, Lucy Clichè. This new nom de plume sees Loose-y utilising a similar palette to her better known personality, but here all bets / beats are off.

Lucy Cliché - Cliché's Principle

"Cliché’s Principle” exhibits the two-sided aura of an artist long familiar with the cultivation of DIY ethos: an effortless expulsion of playful immediacy and the unfolding of a musician well versed in unpretentious composition. Lucy Cliché’s five track EP for Fleisch Records is a jacking romp through 120-125bpm electro/new-beat, swooning through downcast ambience, lobotomised vocal samples and sweat-drenched hardware rhythms.

Lucy’s musical oeuvre piles high; as a figure in the Sydney underground for the past 15 years she has always explored sounds that playfully antagonize the status-quo; the dysfunctional no-wave approach of her band Naked On The Vague and the manipulated tape ambience of Half High echo throughout Cliché’s Principle in the form of chorus buzzed synth chords, abstract drones and ethereal evocation. While there is the strong presence of a live veteran at work behind the machines, Cliché’s Principle holds five tracks produced purely with the intention of paving the dance-floor.

Tracklist:

A1 - Heady Duet
A2 - Waves On Road
B1 - Opulent Optic
B2 - True Ego
B3 - Cliché’s Principle

Loose-y Crunché - Cream Of Human Morale

Hibernating in her hidden studio apartment over isolation period has led Lucy Cliché to deliver a haunting mix. Mutant electronic sounds channel through genres of dub, techno, and other variety of sorts. Sway back and forth, from side to side as it takes you to abandoned industrial complex-like territories, fetishising how the world would look if it was completely absent of human population, as if the city was all yours for the taking. Tho as a consequence, you are left alone in vast baron land, desolate and infinite. If you keep exploring, the last quarter of this mix will coincide nicely, some dark ambient.

ERF Radio Lucy Cliche: Loose-y-lock-down-on-Erf

AST112: OSMOSIS: ALTERED STATES OF DOWN UNDER
 (OIL / LOOSEE CRUNCHE / WRX / IVORY WHIPS)

  This was originally intended as a six-artist compilation I was asked to put together for an overseas label years back that never saw light. Here it is culled down to three of the six originally included, with the addition of a recent, locked-down side from Ivory Whips. Oil opens things up in his inimitably slick style after keeping things pretty damn quiet for awhile now. A slowburn open and quick escalation into full shuffle mode shortly thereafter, “life’s too short to fuck y’self over, y’know?”. Then comes the return of Crunché to AST with two severe cuts, one almost approaching a rhythm you can follow and the other rejecting the concept wholesale. Next up WRX dives even deeper into his deep bag of techniques for these three burners. Lastly, recently minted improv-electronics outliers Ivory Whips offer two beat-driven numbers ahead of another cassette release more in this vein than the comparatively narcotic, Meeting, released on AST a few months ago.

Loose-y Crunché- Dance Of The Doledrums

Lucy Cliché is an ever evolving project exploring intersections between techno, industrial and electro. Using an all hardware set-up her music delivers a hard bitten exploration of how physicality and the ethereal can interact in music – heavy bass rhythms lock into pounding drums, washed over with synth chords and acid bleeps. 

Loose-y Crunché is a spin-off multiplication of Lucy Cliche bringing you irritatingly raw and reasonably improvised relentless electronic crunch zone headache beats and disjointed noise tracks.
