ossia: red x

Ossia (Young Echo member, operates Rewind Forward, Peng! Sound, No Corner, Hotline Recordings) debuts with "Red X," inspired by Peter Tosh's diary recordings in which he documented his dissatisfaction and mistrust in the run-up to his shocking murder in '87. The track brilliantly bridges dubwise, isolationist electronics and modern soundsystem dynamics. "Blood & Ice (Version)" was coaxed out of a dubplate of "Ice & Blood" and the crackly runout groove of Tosh's Bombo Klaat 7" shot through '70s Copicat tape-delay and an array of effects. Vinyl-only edition of 500 housed in beautiful screenprinted sleeve designed by Studio Tape-Echo.
