VOIDSPIRE Such a dense, mystical record with an almost impenetrable shroud of darkness surrounding it. However, once the layers start peeling back, you start seeing the light. It's far away. You'll never touch it. Favorite track: Violence's Detour.

about

Drew McDowall and Hiro Kone’s collaborative record The Ghost of Georges Bataille induces a state of suspense via sonic seance. Conjuring the sentiment of death as productive force, the artists join their analog paradigms to open a door elsewhere, or perhaps, inside - sublimating personal struggles into ritualistic offerings. Churning, cinematic, and pulsating with an organic sentience - "The Ghost of Georges Bataille" invites an undeniable presence into the consciousness and lulls both collectors and the newly inducted alike into catharsis - with the hairs on their arms standing up. Not for the casual listener.
