kerridge: fatal light attraction

Kerridge returns to Downwards in 2016 with the custom-built electronics of Fatal Light Attraction following 2015's incursions on his own Contort label. The project premiered at Berlin Atonal 2015 with Kerridge working alongside Andrej Boleslavský and Maria Júdová to create an intense, kinetic shadowplay synched as a counterpart to the music and performance. As Kerridge's third long-player, Fatal Light Attraction marks a more fluid -- or effluent -- refinement of his sound, blurring the boundaries between organic audio sources and custom-constructed synths to flood the senses with waves of bristling, oxidizing industrial tones and coruscating texturhythm seemingly intent on separating flesh from bone. It's evil stuff, all seven tracks of it, forming a closed feedback system of guttural, choking frequencies and arrhythmatics. Mastered and cut by Matt Colton at Alchemy. Edition of 500.
