Eric Copeland will release a new album on May 24, entitled Strange Days.
Copeland is a core member of Black Dice, and is also one half of Terrestrial Tones with Animal Collective’s Avey Tare. Strange Days is his third solo album to date, following 2003’s Hermaphrodite and last year’s Paw Tracks offering Alien In A Garbage Dump. Available courtesy of the Post Present Medium label, the new record is packaged in a silk-screened cover designed by Copeland and is limited to 500 copies.
The album contains two long tracks, the flamboyantly named ‘Side A’ (21:53) and ‘Side B’ (13:15), which are based around chirruping samples, field recordings and malfunctioning synthesizers. The label suggest that they will “end up leaving you exhausted and satisfied”, which is code for “really weird and intense, kind of unlistenable at times, but ultimately worth the effort”.
LA-based Post Present Medium has released records by the likes of Silk Flowers, No Age, Wavves and Best Coast.
