Now that their s/t-approved debut is available in a limited vinyl run (grab the only copy we’ve got here), we thought we’d ask Shapednoise and his mysterious Violetshaped collaborator Violet Poison to share an exclusive mix that’s more like a mission statement, including some forthcoming material on their own label and Vatican Shadow’s Bed of Nails imprint. Here’s what they sent us back…
“Recorded using vinyl and unreleased promo CD tracks. We tried to mantain a narrative logic, with dramatic and melancholic influences, that creates a soulful and powerful energy. It could tell a story of an ordinary man who tries to overcome his fears, living in a kind of paraxodical cybernetic world where advanced technology is used to encourage to believe in the ‘absolute truth’ of an Orwellian dictatorship which pushes retrograde ideals. It’s a mix where the edge of utopia and dystopia is not very clear, and we really feel this to be actual.”
