Demdike Stare drop new cassette mix, Post Collapse
Demdike Stare are to show off their formidable digging skills once again.
The noirish collagists have kept us on our toes throughout 2013 with their up-tempo Testpressing EP series – a string of junglist experiments that forcefully dispelled any criticism that Demdike Stare’s music was occasionally too ponderous for comfort. They’ve also issued a limited run of recordings of their live Neotantrik project, made in collaboration with Finders Keepers impresario Andy Votel.
The pair aren’t new to the mix game: 2010 saw them drop the Industrial Desert and Osmosis CDs, and last year welcomed the The Weight Of Culture cassette, featuring material from Jeff Mills through to long-forgotten NDW. They’ve just followed up that mixtape with a new cassette session, titled Post Collapse. The two-track release arrives without a tracklist, and promises a melange of jazz, alt.pop and, presumably, shadowy dance music.
Post Collapse is out now. A fourth instalment in the Testpressing series is reportedly on the way in the coming weeks.
