cw/a: ringleader

CW/A are producers Thomas Feriero and Francesco Leali present Ringleader EP. The duo return with their first original productions since their debut full length, 2015's critically acclaimed Words Unspoken, Acts Undone (PAR 006CD/LP). Inspired by global trends towards Orwellian mass surveillance and cyber espionage, Ringleader aims to be an audible interpretation of big data, ubiquitous connections and the acceptance of corporate and government spying. Grim and mechanical by nature, the six tracks - named after leaked code names of government tools used to watch on citizens - work as a soundtrack to the destruction of privacy.
