Cold Reading

Flora Yin Wong - All My Dreams Are Nightmares

Deeply entrenched in the ambitious production work of Italian producer Mystics is an aching sense of the forlorn. On his debut for Bank, “Absent Heart Raze”, a floating cough syrup laced voice haunts broken beats and pummeling breaks over the course of six emotionally engaged listens. Often with maximalist makers, the perspective of the producer can get lost in the olympic techniques of the day. Here Mystics pushes past those egoistic constraints to balance an emotive underpinning amidst a rich palette of blown drums, glitched gestures, and crisp jungle breaks. “Absent Heart Raze” is a concise output, but does not lack in density and depth. Mystics contemporary vocabulary does not burden the listener, each track leaving the listener hungry for both another listen and an eagerness to consume the next chapter in this EP. “Absent Heart Raze” sits as comfortably in a dim smoke-filled bedroom as it does on a sound system, allowing one to get lost in the absent hearted realm of Mystics mind.

Mystics - I'm Gone (BNK-041)

Bank NYC is very excited to present the definitive statement of Collector, "No Prospects". Collector is the solo guise of Jason Campbell, resident of Newcastle, Australia. Since 2014, Campbell has been channelling the industrial malaise of his hometown through his unique take on heavy electronics. After a series of releases on global-spanning labels such Steel City Dance Discs (UK), Nice Music (AUS), Clan Destine (SCO) & Night People (US), the debut long-player for Bank NYC finds Collector embracing true album form for the first time in his discography. Across eight pieces, Collector delivers a bleak sonic narrative via a hardware-only approach to production: Analog drum machine patterns are intricately intertwined with menacing synth lines, and driving bass is met with the unrelenting clatter of tightly-sequenced field recordings taken straight from the heart of local industry.

Thematically, "No Prospects" navigates the downfall of Newcastle's BHP Steelworks at the end of the 20th century. Acknowledged widely as the largest de-industrialisation event in Australian history, the closure of the Steelworks in 1999 marked a dramatic cultural shift where blue-collar vocations were vanquished due to an economic slump, and were consumed by the trending cosmopolitanism seen in adjacent cities. "No Prospects" draws on Campbell's family lineage in the Newcastle's steelworks, providing a rich, personal context to an industry that both gives and takes away. The sharp intensity of the album is sustained by dramatic shifts in pace: the devestating slow burners of 'Two From Five' and 'Ricochet' are instinctually offset by the frenetic 'CFT' and 'Workers Club Collapse', which showcase Campbell's no-nonsense approach to shaping an almost club-ready breed of modern industrial techno. Although diverse across both sides, cohesion is found in Campbell's toolkit of samples that are unmistakably Collector. The album's eponymous track, 'No Prospects', serves as an introspective centrepoint - a largely arrhythmic excursion shrouded in familiar brooding, textural drones, and underpinned by the chug of machinery on the brink of collapse.

Although forever indebted to the spirit of local electronic outcasts, Bloody Fist Records, Collector's "No Prospects" is a remarkably distinct statement straight from the heart of Australia's Steel City. The complexity of arrangements speak to Campbell's long association in experimental music communities, whilst the persistent feeling of dread conveys a uniquely regional story of decay and futility. Pure Novocastrian industrial electronics.

Collector - Gauze (BNK-040)

Premiere of the track "The Night Has Passed Already" by Vanity Productions, taken from his upcoming album on Northern Electronics.

"...Recorded during the weeks after Christian's sister’s passing, it resonates internally as the maelstrom of melancholy, transforming grief into distorted tunes. Minimalistic and bleak at the core, yet possessing vague and undeniable romanticism, morbid intensity and density, a tangible memo filled with love unexpressed, a ride through a tunnel drowning in light."

ICI MTN is a live performer and producer, member of the Franco-Dutch collective Plor. Through his creations, he develops a hypnotic and melancholic universe with a deep, minimal and hybrid techno aesthetic.

Close to sound creation and electroacoustic music, he maintains a porous link with these influences, which naturally lead him to integrate a sensitive, poetic dimension into his music.

He considers this first release as a very intimate world, in which he has tried to place all the tracks likely to introduce the listener to his meditative vision of dance music.

The intention is to embrace a wide range of aesthetics, such as hypnotic techno, deep percussive rhythms or mental grooves, while focusing on complex atmospheres and textures. It's a notion that brings a lot of sensations as a listener, so he wanted to transcribe them as best as possible in this debut project.

ICI MTN - Hidden Thoughts (ST072)

Hi on Tek

Listening to @ninsounds is an otherworldly experience beyond the borders of ambient textures and echoing deconstructions, a space where club culture and studio experimentation seamlessly resonate together over Hamburg's riverbanks. With a passion ignited by her dubstep influences, Nina explores more deeply the avant-garde side of electronic music: a vast spectrum of transitions that mutate into half-step drum breaks, through bleeps and grounded bass lines. With a monthly residency on @hallo-radio, she has released tunes out on @crttrcollective, @mltmx-records and also premiered @nineinchnails.

JAC BERROCAL + DAVID FENECH + VINCENT EPPLAY feat COSEY FANNI TUTTI and JAH WOBBLE - 'Broken Allures' CD / LP / Ltd LP

"Broken Allures", the fifth LP from trio Jac Berrocal, David Fenech, and Vincent Epplay (following releases on Blackest Ever Black, Akuphone, KlangGalerie), furthers their unique recording style with a musique concrète approach to mixing, characterized by the distinctive sound and technique of musicians and producers. Fenech and Epplay have paired with legendary French musician Berrocal, renowned for his collaborations with Nurse With Wound, Vince Taylor, Jaki Liebezeit, Pascal Comelade, Sunny Murray etc. "Broken Allures" is arguably their most coherent and fully accomplished album to date.

For this album, the trio has invited two fantastic musicians to compose with them: COSEY FANNI TUTTI and JAH WOBBLE.

COSEY FANNI TUTTI (Throbbing Gristle, Chris & Cosey, COUM Transmissions) contributes vocals, cornet, and electric guitar in her unique style. She has also written lyrics for two tracks on the album and brings a radical touch to the instrumental track 'Viva la Hacienda', which, in her own words, recalls her time recording with Throbbing Gristle.

JAH WOBBLE (founding member of Public Image Limited, and collaborator with African Head Charge, Brian Eno, Björk, Holger Czukay, Jaki Liebezeit, Bill Laswell, Primal Scream, Evan Parker, Sinéad O'Connor etc) plays a deep bass line on one track. He adds his signature industrial dub sound, with deep sub-bass frequencies.
