Teleseen Fear of the Forest

Fear of the Forest
Teleseen
PERCEPTS006

Teleseen's second album Fear of The Forest takes the militant industrial greyscale contructions from 2007's WAR and smears them with neon green. The rhythmic grids of dancehall, ragga, two step, reggae and soul melt into each other forming a psychedelic lattice on which multivalent ambiences, melodies and vocals hang, splayed open like a tree that has been malformed by a vine grown around it for decades. Tightening to reveal hidden forms, creating a conglomerate from a singularity, a wilderness of one. The voice appears and reappears in this drama, first in the warbling intonations that close out the first track, "Prophecy is Fulfillment in The Mouth of The Land", speaking impassioned, just outside the range of intelligibility to the dissected disco of "All The Ash That Allowed", which gives way to "Black Monday"; a neo-classical one drop rhythm, ornamented with multiplying breakcore fragments, behind a robotic redemption song. The jungle is burning and we need a new place to live.

Gintas K 13 Tracks

Face A/B
/sonde/
PERCEPTS004

"FACE A/B" is deep, textural exploration of these linkages. The A side setting up the exoskeleton of skanking morphology and the B side elaborating on the structure; allowing it to growing arms, legs, feet, claws, and antennae and move across the ocean. Melodies and timbres explode in the crucible of the echo chamber. A ghostly melodica figure appears and disappears just as quickly, only to reappear in another form a moment later, translated into a different tongue, in stuttering counterpoint to the thundering bass weight. The rhythm doubles, then triples, looks back and marches forward to zion. Truly a striking debut from this new artist.

Gintas K
PERCEPTS003

Gintas K's 13 Tracks is a example of the beauty that can be manufactured from sonic detritus and sounds usually labeled and cast away as ordinary: clicks, crackles, sine wave drones, and subtly strafed textures collide into a musical discourse on the aesthetics of post-techno. The ghosts of genre creep in from time to time; a gentle Eno-like ambiance populates the first half of "Ka as zinau", only to be subsumed by a cold, marching, minimalist rhythm halfway through. Bits of the rhythmic energy of jungle and even a few heavily abstracted guitars make an appearance as the album progresses. Gintas K shows remarkable ability for finding character in the simplest of sounds and building into them complex, shifting, magnificent structures.

TELESEEN WAR

WAR
TELESEEN
PERCEPTS002

"WAR" represents a maturation of the electronic dub sound he can be found developing on recent singles and compilation appearances.  The music further attempts to chart out post-rave electronic music as a site of revolution and experimentation, songs with overtly political titles such as "Work Will Not Set You Free" , an anarchist queering of the famous and fearsome axiom that adorned the gates of Auschwitz, mark that the abstraction of the music is not mere formal exercise but  a political act. Tracks like "Native Yard #133345" that look both towards roots reggae and minimal techno give the record a distinct future-shock, as does the continuous bed of noise and ambiance, electronic and otherwise that runs beneath "The Liberty Halls"(a title  that references both the IRA and Marcus Garvey's UNIA). This is the music of the mediated age, of full spectral dominance, of the never ending, undeclared  war.
