...according to our Mingus on 15 June 2007.

Two releases from Mordant Music- which is also the name of the label- "Carrion Squared" is a spooked & slightly unsettling and dark largely keyboard and FX dominated collection of brief vignettes ideal for film, TV scenes or wrong brain soundtracks. If used for TV they'd probably be used for some 'end of the world' type scenario or doomed 'celebrity lifestyle' episodes. Think woozy Boards of Canada tracks or a slightly pissed Jean Michel Jarre even..."The Tower Parts viii-xviii" is one lengthy Psych-prog wig-out for fans of knob twiddling, keyboard noodling aficionados keen on staring into the middle distance (dribbling no doubt...hahaha). as with "Carrion Squared", this could be a soundtrack, in this case for some otherworldly colony of aliens in steel hot pants. Warmly infectious in parts, disturbing in others but mostly tripped out. Watch out hippies as is does tend to get a bit industrial towards the end.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Mordant appear again after the success of the "Dead Air" album which saw them draw high praise from Wire magazine,,,PlanB And The Sunday Times.......For fans of Ghostbox and Trunk.........
In the summer of 2006 Mordant Music were approached by Boosey & Hawkes to contribute to a library album of 'drone' based pieces.These 40 off-cuts of nascent synthetic scree reflect this association via the results of exhaustive tests undertaken across the industrial estates of Britain.....this is the sound of myriad life forms thriving in the otherwise stagnant dead pools of commerce....the distorted sonic malaise lying dormant in the air conditioning unit of a Kent logistics firm....the gaseous chime of an unchecked bacteria breeding in the foyer carpet of a plastics division in Hull....the viral hum seeping from behind the admin office radiator in a proprietary grease manufacturers near the Pennines.
This is 'Carrion squared' the noxious unformed unwarranted harvest of the corvid's collision with the business park hawk,the fruits of a discarded carcass...MM threatens to envelop.....
