Amnesia Scanner Hoax + Strobe.Rip

Mutating out of the collaborative practice established on STROBE. RIP, AmnesiaScanner and Freeka Tet are so back with a new dual record project that explores andexplodes norms of music production, songwriting and sonic aesthetics. HOAX is *not*an album and remix released together, but rather, a singular experience unfolding astwo mirroring, mutually-reinforcing (or perhaps deconstructing) records. The Amnesia Scanner "AS HOAX" record administers the liquid drip of devastatingballads, wandering mosh-ups and industrial flood lights that we fiend for. But, as withevery AS record it is impossible to mistake the grunged-out doom for nihilism: there issimply too much raw emotion, vulnerable narrative and playful experimentation. Withdrums and chaos from Freeka on four "ASFT" tracks, AS has delivered perhaps theirmost prescient, hopeful and soon-to-be-seminal record of their genre-defining career.
