White Car – She the Bodiless
White Car – Now We Continue
White Car will release their debut album on February 28, 2012.
Entitled Everyday Grace, it will appear courtesy of FACT’s label of 2011, Hippos In Tanks, who issued White Car’s striking 2010 EP No Better. The brainchild of Chicago’s Elon Katz (pictured above), to date White Car has been all about a wonderfully itchy, paranoid, over-sexed mingling of post-punk, house and EBM/industrial tropes, but we’re led to believe the project’s ambitions have expanded for this debut LP.
According to a press release, Everyday Grace “deals with assimilating human life into this digital age – 100 years of western industrial dominance now morphing into a nebulous stream of globalized interconnected captivity.”
The lyrics content apparently “charges the narrative of technological incorporation with sexuality and elan, words about the truncation and abuse of time, the contracting of personal space while the universe expands, and the virtual/physical interfacing of human interaction.”
Bold claims, to be sure, but we like the ambition. Although he’s now based in Los Angeles, Everyday Grace was written, recorded and produced by Katz over the course of 2011 at his Chicago home studio, The Techno Dungeon, using hardware synthesizers, drum machines, samplers and processors. Collaborators included White Car live member Orion Martin, Andy Ortmann, Beau Wanzer, Lindsay Powerll, Michael Vallera and Eric Davis.
Our first impressions of the album are that it’s a beauty, equal parts funk and aggro, metal and flesh, pleasure and pain. We’ve got two tracks for you to stream/download above, ‘Now We Continue’ and ‘She The Bodiless’.
