Harm Stryker - s/t 3" CDr / Digital Download

Harm Stryker's latest s/t 3" CDr for PG is music for condemned, boarded up and forgotten spaces. Part requiem for our architectural history, part vitriol-fueled sound in opposition to the box stores, condominiums, and gentrified, cookie cutter housing taking it's place. The single track begins as a gentle drone that quickly builds to glitched out swatches of sonic energy that sway and move with a fluidity and grace that is Harm Stryker's signature.

This limited release for PG is a one time pressing of 100 sale copies, 10 promotional copies.

"This is a fully-realized, borderline epic piece comprising electronic drones, ambience, noise, and knob-twiddlling euphoria. Never too over-the-top or understated, the duo function as close to a single mind as you could ever hope to achieve in this genre - the soundscapes one will lay out always compliment what the other is doing to perfection, weaving and melding together in sublime fashion." - Outer Space Gamelan

"Highly dynamic electronic drone overlaid with colourful barbs" -The Sound Projector (UK)

"Textured noises and a cut-up approach to sonic architecture are the cornerstones of the duo's aesthetic -- they eschew overly harsh noises, for the most part, in favor of urban sound bites and glitch-laden noises, assembling the pieces in layers that flow freely in terms of texture and density. Over the full length of the piece, they incorporate a number of extremely different and interesting sounds, including screechy tape manipulation, found sound, and processed electronics -- it all adds up in a striking way, with an evolution of sound that remains vital and interesting right up to the unexpected ending" -Dead Angel
