13 June 2012 deserves a half post. Myself and Ms. Topez have been in the laboratory for the past 24 hours creating visual promotional material for both Architectures I-IV and Telepathic Drone Antagonist Vol. 1. While we await the limited capacity of coaxial cable to upload gigabytes of noise, we'd like to take a moment to reflect on the past few months.
We've been GOING THE FUCK OFF. If you're an artist, you should be too. No rules, no limitations. In fact, we'd like to challenge our friends, both local and around the world, to keep up with our output through the summer and fall. Excuses are vampires, and we possess jars of garlic sunlight and wooden stakes from conifers raised on holy water.
If you live in Los Angeles, cassette versions of Permanent Record and Architectures I-IV will be available beginning tomorrow tonight at Vacation Vinyl in the Silver Lake district of our nuclear fallout city. Each contain a pin and typed messages unique to each copy. Please support Vacation and its parent organizations, Hydra Head and Sige, both excellent labels curated by two charismatic weirdos.
In the meantime, you should also check out Sodomia, LANTVRN, True Widow, Lesbian, Awaas, Kid606, Akasa, Subtitle, Important Records, Tim Hicks (visuals), Sean Rourke Meehan (visuals), anything Wino is doing and -- oh fuck -- Neon Indian (and their friends at Bleep Labs).
We are the black wizards,
B.L. + A.
