COPOUT /BARDO EP/
LIMINAL SOUNDS – LMNL007

Release Date: 22nd June 2015

Fresh from his contribution to our recent ‘Liminality 01‘ compilation, we are extremely pleased to announce Copout’s debut EP for the label, ‘Bardo’.

Over the last couple of years, Copout has carved out a name for himself with a string of solo and collaborative releases on labels like Soukouch Ethnik, Freshmore and Paradisiaca. Building a distinctive sound that balances propulsive, club-ready rhythms with rich, emotive melodies, his music wriggles free of the constraints of the dancefloor and transcends the confines of the club.

This refusal to adhere to traditional sounds or structures runs through his new four-track EP. Copout deftly balances the visceral impulses of peak time dancefloors with a delicate melodic touch, bringing ‘Bardo’ to life in a vivid and deeply immersive environment.

Opening track ‘Further’ sets the EP in motion with a dramatic flurry of sweeping synths and tumbling kicks. Copout funnels this propulsion into a tense energy on second track ‘Slate’, wrapping icy melodies around a steely percussive backbone. This rhythmic edge continues through ‘Timecode’, acting as an anchor for the labyrinthine melodies that unfurl around it. The EP fittingly finishes on the mournful procession of ‘Further (Reprise)’, before drifting off in to the night.

For years, Copout has been active in the respective electronic undergrounds of Philadelphia and New York - accumulating a handful of releases, both solo and collaborative. His approach to music, forged from the dissimilarity between his rural beginnings and current metropolitan whereabouts, renders a sound individual in its acute sense of space and pressure therewithin. Elements of the natural and expansive world are spliced with those of one that is constantly built and surveyed. On this premiere outing for Purple Tape Pedigree, Copout's third EP, a story of conflict is woven as these divergent environments meet in the same subconscious space and propagate opposing energies, hence Forces.

Playing like an exploration of stimulation versus constriction, Forces builds a narrative through zero gravity melodies intermingling with the rhythm grid. Harmonious walls of Vangelis-like cyber dreamscapes are thrust into motion, or tugged apart, by a system of plunging sub bass, robust kicks and splashing metallics ("Helix," "Enough"). Whether hollow and atonal ("Stressed") or collapsing into a blood-dealt pulse referencing the South African gqom counter-beat ("Fallen"), the 4-track sequence is meditative in its paranoia. Components push and pull for significance, colliding like a laser light show of subliminal messages. Recommended for when you are watching the pieces of your vehicle's exterior burn away while trying to outrun the gaze of a constellation or a crippling memory. This is music sculpted through the shock of constant surveillance.
