We are thrilled to launch our new album for Stolen Body Records, 'I Can Live With It If You Can, Son' at The Crofters Rights with fine support from Exeter-based free-improv duo Tetkov/Lord and the hypnotic sounds of Orryx! Come and help us celebrate this moment on the night of Saturday 7th September...
REPO MAN:
Another new edition to the Stolen Body roster…
Repo Man are Bristol based noiseniks comprising of Bojak (vocals/sax/violin), Ant Brown (bass), Liam McConaghy (guitar) and Jesse Webb (drums). ‘I Can Live With It If You Can, Son’ is their third album, following 2015's Minesweeping and the first recording to feature new recruit Webb (also of GNOD/ The Final Age/ Anthroproph).
The album was recorded with Thomas J Bryan at Jute Box Studio, mixed with Matt Sampson at Bink Bonk Studio and mastered by Seattle-based engineer Jack Endino (Nirvana, Soundgarden, Mudhoney). It represents the band both at their rawest and most expansive. From the clanging fuzzed out sonic whirl of 'Low Pursuit' dissolving into the death waltz jig of 'May I Interject', to the lyrical puzzles and bubbling synth rotor of 'Asexual and Spineless' and the languid menace of the title track, 'I can live with it if you can, son' shows Repo Man hurtling further into respective streams of noise and compositional acuity. This culminates in 'Moaty' - free-form ambient jazz smashed open by the band at their heaviest.
Building on their fierce live reputation - from supporting, among others, Lydia Lunch, Enablers, USA Nails, DUDS, Lice and GNOD - ‘I Can Live With It If You Can, Son’ displays an uncompromising clarity.
TETKOV/LORD (Exeter):
2/3rds of experimental artcore trio, Capri Batterie, Kordian Tetkov (drums) and Matt Lord (saxophone)'s side project is a real treat of free music experimentation. Get lost in their engrossing soundworld.
ORRYX:
Orryx is the solo project of Christelle Atenstaedt. Her music is both expressive and introspective, a hypnotic ritual of layered synth effects, beats and soaring vocal cries.
