Behind the Bass / Club : Release Notes
10 years after his debut LP ‘Sport’ on XL Recordings, “Class A wind-up merchant and new beta techno mutant” Powell makes public a tumultuous hook-riddled collection of demented electronic music recorded between 2014 and 2016 and only previously made available via private exchanges with the artist–prompted by the second of his notorious ‘art-marketing’ billboards which saw his email address plastered across two 96 sheet sites in NYC and London. Deviant fans of this period in the artist’s discography will rejoice at the collision of influences that defined Powell’s sound at the time: the nods to Suicide’s wiggy MS-20 jabs; the clattering attitude of Big Black; Pan Sonic’s propulsive physicality; and the jumped-up industrial grooves of Liaisons Dangereuses. As Boomkat wrote at the time, “Powell is one of his generation’s most unhinged characters, combining post punk’s innovative spirit with an asymmetric inversion of industrial rock’s macho daftness and a sarky twist on techno stoicism–all quite ludicrous yet somehow necessary.” 10 years after the original act, the music still thrills and mystifies in equal measure. ??
