Once again, digging deep into the underbelly of 1980s DIY cassette culture, Contort Yourself present a weird and wild collection of minimal wave, industrial, post punk, experimental electronic and more...
Rich-poor divide widens. Unemployment soars. The East and West eyeball each other on the brink. 2022 isn’t too far off the 1980s. Contort Yourself knows this. Following the huge success of the prophetic 80s Underground Cassette Culture Vol 1, the Vol 2 double LP is set to hit shelves and screens with the same brand of distortion soaked didactics. Twenty one tracks from across the globe make up this second installment with nothing being constant. Instead, the overarching message is one of wanton abandonment; burnt-out artists peddling a punk profanity, marginalised musicians spitting on the establishment and industry. Rusted guitar strings, cobbled drum machines and fire in the belly; this is the recipe. A soundtrack of despondent despair, a lament of languid lechery, an anthem of what was then and still is now.

Contort Yourself is extremely proud to present the first full release from Innsyter since his killer LP for LA Club Resource in 2016!

Vast dollops of distortion, flexible grooves, and physical beats. Absolutely teeming with intense spirit...what music ought to feel like, raw and visceral to its very core.' Beach Sloth

CYN002 -  Innsyter - Magnetic Healing EP

A1 - Desintegrado
A2 - Bries
A3 - Risadinha
A4 - Local Fantasy

B1 - In the Spell
B2 - Global Borng
B3 - Superficial Love
B4 - Modus Operandi IV
B5 - Forest Shaman

'Rough and ready machine tracks from Brazilian producer and December collaborator Innsyter on the new Contort Yourself series. CYN002 picks up where Coletivo Vandalismo left off, channeling that same wild, DIY bedroom studio spirit across nine individual recordings. Opening with sprawling synth motifs fighting against a steady rhythm track, ‘Desintegrado’ sounds like an industrial dub punk trying to channel early Cluster or Moebius and strangely succeeding. The rest of the EP treats us to vaguely Drexciyan, subaquatic electro (‘Bries’) and twisted lo-fi minimalism with bonus eerie monologue samples (‘Superficial Love’). The one recurring theme on Magnetic Healing is Innsyter’s clear love for mournful, post-punk inspired melodies. It comes across loud and clear on almost every track yet never sounds tired. Things eventually draw to a close with the hopelessly romantic new wave instrumental ‘Forest Shaman' - a blink and you’ll miss it ballad for all those weary-eyed party-goers who stuck around til the sun came up!'

"LA Club Resource's Innsyter helps carry Contort Yourself into this new realm of dedicated solo releases from contemporary artists (their previous form was to split releases between archival and new tracks). The snarling, industrial palette is much the same, and the years of origin are as ambiguous here as they've ever been on the label, making Innsyter the perfect addition to the catalogue. From acid-dipped synth pop to nightmarish wave contortions, this record is certainly not for the faint of heart, but if you already love the dark and deadly world of Contort Yourself then this brilliantly-realised, consistently inventive record can't fail to hit the spot." Juno

CY is kicking off a new series of 12"s focusing exclusively on contemporary artists with some wild experimental industrial muzak from Portuguese duo Coletivo Vandalismo!

Coletivo Vandalismo - Urubus Fall From The Dying Sun In An Improvised Manner EP

A1 - The (Black) Sun's Burning (feat. Neonthroat)
A2 - Hostages of Society
A3 - Zombie Zombie

B1 - Are You Awake?
B2 - Children of the Curse
B3 - Black Sun's Demise

"Having built its name on various artist releases featuring old and new artists, Contort Yourself is branching out with a new series that focuses on one contemporary act per release. In this instance it's Coletivo Vandalismo getting some much-deserved attention. The Portuguese industrial punk outfit have a visceral sound that favours noise and distortion, but most importantly they know how to wield these sonic tools for maximum impact. The snarl of the synths and the crunch of the drums on "Hostages Of Society" could easily be too much in the wrong hands, but here the errant tones find their own space in the mix, making the impact of the track all the more on-point." - JUNO

CYN001 - B1 - Coletivo Vandalismo - Are You Awake?

The DIY industrial imprint, Contort Yourself, have returned with a curious EP from the Brazilian producer, Innsyter. Contort Yourself have always intrigued me for being a label that makes music like post-punk, only more so. Their sound palette covers analogue overdrive, cassette warble, and vintage echo, and the label itself describes their sound in true post-punk simplicity, “expressing the sound of darkness and frustration through use of machines”. Even the name, Contort Yourself, brings to mind the destructive imperative of Orange Juice’s Rip It Up or The Slit’s Cut.

But the label diverges from the hallmarks of the 80s underground in its contemporaneous use of electronics. Their latest release, Magnetic Healing, is an excellent example of this. It sounds at once both forgotten and futuristic, like a knackered mix-tape found on mars. The label itself describes the EP’s opening ‘Desintegrado’ as sounding like, “an industrial dub punk trying to channel early Cluster or Moebius and strangely succeeding”. The strangeness of its sound is unmistakable. The beats and the arpeggios merge into one another to create an odd-shaped mush. But there is plenty of groove in there if you listen carefully.

‘Magnetic Healing’ will be released on 23rd July with Contort Yourself.
