Fantastic New 12" By Depth Charge "Mecha Squirrel&

Post by godflesh fiend » Wed Mar 04, 2009 2:56 pm

I just scored this 12" and it really is insanely good!

Not sure if it's Dubstep but the Thriller 1&2 12"s were here so I thought i'd put it here too as it's fucking amazing stuff which you should all check!

Below is the press release details and underneath that is the link for Piccadilly Records where you can here the songs.

"The creation of 'Mecha Squirrel' has been a long and arduous struggle between the various machinations that inhabit J. Saul Kane's mind. In the lengthy hiatus since his last release under the Depth Charge moniker (2004's 'Hi Voltage Man') his musings have taken many points of focus: the homeless cats of North-West London, the aesthetic charms of Japanese bubblegum machine cards, but always in the background has loomed the ferrous monstrosity of Mecha Squirrel.

Drawing on arcane lore, 'Mecha Squirrel' transports you to a new sonic galaxy that is emergent in Kane's mind although very much keeping with his own tradition of powerful rhythmic electro, razor-sharp breaks and bizarre sonic ruptures. Augmented by the spoken word mythologizing of an unknown narrator -- Part 1 -- and then rendered at its most percussive and dancefloor-focused -- Part 2 -- 'Mecha Squirrel' evokes the dual dimensions of Kane's deviant imagination at its most promiscuous.

B-side 'Shy' sees this imagination's more sordid dimension giving vent to the funk of potent pent-up creative forces. Polyrhythmic percussion lines drive a P-Funk swagger around staccato melodies and off-kilter electro bass, whilst demented voices evoke unknown orgiastic pleasures. The genesis of these we can but guess at, but the heightened activity at Kane's Iron Monkey studio promises more to come... "

No takers???

After two days this 12" has become my fav record of the last year for sure.

Please check the songs as they really do kick ass!

I've heard J Saul Kane's name before but never really heard his music. After scoring this new 12" I'll be hunting down anything with his name on it I can!

Thanks for the heads up! Got this in the post yesterday, playing it on repeat since. As a long time DC fan i can tell you, this 12" is in the vein of his old releases. Raw electro breaks with analogue drones galore. I just can't get enough of this record.

Also, if you like this record, you must check the emperor machine stuff from his label. A bit more minimal techno, but the sound and mood are quite similar.
