CHERRYSTONES X DEMDIKE STARE - Who Owns The Dark? LP
Edition of 500 copies, incl. insert
Demdike Stare & Cherrystones unveil a long-in-the-making darkside fantasy weaving atmospheric and loose-limbed cuts recorded at labs in London and Manchester, brilliantly shaking a bush of ghostly trig points ranging from the Mars rehearsal tapes to Minimal Man, Randy Greifâs cut-ups, Conrad Schnitzlerâs industrial prototypes and â70s ECM sides â with vocal contributions from Ssabaeâs mesmerising Laura Lippie.
In dazed pursuit of styles heard on Cherrystonesâ DDS tape âPeregrinations in SHQ (Super High Quality)â, the renowned London digger properly hexes sonic leylines with his label bosses on 10 wickedly grubby and hazed sound experiments. They tumble down the rabbit hole like some sixth sense-guided call-and-response, resulting in an exquisite unfolding of psychoacoustic spaces familiar to their mutually spirited sounds.
Honestly it's some of the dirtiest and most esoteric gear we've heard from Demdike; you can sense a lifetime of incessant digging drip through every loop and crack; grotty no-wave, industrial noise, DIY psych, proto-techno and gnarled concrĂšte, further bolstered by Cherrystonesâ perpendicular, equally insatiable and fathoms-deep areas of interest. With a focus on scrappy, feral cuts and hastily recorded edits, the trio roughly re-draw wordless chants and hyper-compressed knocks over a vortex of found sounds that curdle in rhythmic heat. Never staying sill for long, the trio get drowned by watery ambience, then shredded loops, Technoid shrapnel and electric bass prangs dancing into the aether.
The crankiest spirit perfuses the whole thing, evoking states of unravel and psychic distress as they pit a near-peerless collective knowledge into the void. Laura Lippie acts as human ligature to sanity, a fleeting constant found smudged into the hip hop chops of âFamiliar Unfamiliarityâ, spectral incantations of âProphet in Viewâ, or a channelling of Ozzy in âThee Oathâ, among more deranged tongues on âObserving the Cruxâ.
Itâs the missing link between ECM, Earth and Dilloway we didnât know we needed - up there with some of the most satisfyingly deep and frazzled gear this century
