Optic Nest
Entertainment
And how we waited. Entertainment, the debut album of Optic Nest has been in our minds for years. After making us stunned with his eclectic tapes on the infamous defunct KSP label and the 7" we put out, we could only in our dreams wish for something like this. A pounding, entertaining and electric ten tracks that somehow recalls geniouses / lunatics Hans Edler and Bruce Haack. It's a strange blend of decayed tapeloops, clear vocals, drum machines low in the mix, feedbacking delays and sequenced synthesizers. Optic Nest started working on this album in 2008 while passing the magix bridge into the EMS studio in Stockholm. Patching up those old Buchla and Serge synthesizers. After running the recorded tracks through his old stuff in his Bedroom studio and editing for two years the album was done. Clean and simple.
300 made, with mental full color cover and insert by Henrik Wallin, Mattias Gustafsson and Daniel Fagerström. And of course it comes with a side order of MP3s.

Andy Bolus is one damn fine man. He's been creating brilliant and electric music for a near 20 years now. And always with a technical doomsday feel to it. After seeing him do THE liveperformance of 2010 at the closing of La Miroaterie in Paris, we're utterly excited to have him come give us some dirt.
This tape is a recording that complements, comments and completes »If You Want To Fuck The Sky, Teach Your Cock To Fly«, the LP masterpiece on iDEAL Recordings. Andy teaming up with Brigitte Bordelle makes everything so clear. Together they ride his burnt and broken machines next to spastic splatter of vocals and dumpster electrics. The A-side is some kind of twisted ketamin metal that evolves like a malfunctioned Transformer. Side B is more of a cut up thing with Moog, taped Bowie (?) and Brigittes mental vocals. One can only wonder what that Khazakstan woman is saying.
