BL§§D ØU† – §PNNR§

Blissed Out - NYC Evrything EP

More disturbing noises from the AMDiscs label. BL§§D ØU† (formerly the more SEO friendly Blissed Out) are to release an EP, NYC Evrything, on November 23rd, followed up by a full length vinyl release in late 2010, and a European tour in early 2011. BL§§D ØU† are known to me through their remixes of the likes of Pink Priest and Abe Vigoda. Each offering they have done has been a wholly fresh approach to the track, often tearing it to pieces and supplementing any trace of melody with haunted notes, sound effects and lashing of inhuman echo. The result is always disturbing.

Listen to §PNNR§ below:

I†† – preliminary invocations

I Cemetary - Preliminary Invocations

Preliminary Invocations, from the annoyingly titled I††, pulls the drag/witch-house genre certifiably into a haunted world of time-stretched vocals, sparse and ghostly productions and repetitive rhythms. Out now on the progressive and always entertaining AMDiscs label, this release haunts and bewilders with equal measure. Perfect for Halloween if you’re into that kinda thing. The whole EP can be downloaded here, and if you’re into this dark and challenging music, check out the rest of their roster, it certainly makes for interesting listening.
