Ant here with a CD by Child Bride called 'Reflections On Prism City' its sounds dead smart with all the native Indian samples and brooding, throbbing drones that are distorting our speakers and getting a bit wobbly. Thick walls of lush analogue minimalism. The second tune is far more playful but retains a sense of lurking tension and has some indecipherable samples worked into the mix with hovering static and slow primitive drum machine beats. A tasty little number this one, like a fairground ride rotating at 1/8 the intended speed. Would love to give this some more time but I gots to crack on...OK, so I don't support any kids getting married to old dudes, its not cool... but then this is a new recording by THE Child Bride! Spooked vocals, weird clunks, cut up surreal vibes, this one is a real slayer, almost like some kinda fucked up singer songwriter noise styles. The killer gem here has gotta be 'Rabbit Moon', some far out repetitive churns, some how blurring supremely with some thudding rumbling, and then some killer trance drugged vocal, that'll hypnotize your mind man! Limited to 60 copies with pasted art on envelopes.
