been searching aimlessly for some refreshingly unpolished/un-produced, 'authentic' post punk experimentation? well your search is over, i'm glad to announce i've found just that {thanks to Altered Zones!}, et trust me these guys are the real deal, don't believe me? then take a listen to the ecstatically glitched-out, distortion-fuzzed, bassline-thundering, Ian Curtis-intoning, mantric track No Dreams Tonight, from Beijing-based post-punk/minimal wave duo Hot & Cold {brothers Simon & Josh Frank} off their brilliant "Conclusion / Introduction" EP (2010-11).
it totally makes sense that this album was recorded live, to tape no less, as it captures/translates the suitably murky, dampened et scuzzed-out quality that one hopes for when listening to raw, minimal, post punk music! enjoy!
MP3: No Dreams Tonight
et here's another enraptured, drum machine-laden, reverb-bleeding track from the album:
MP3: Uighur Pop
the "Conclusion / Introduction" album was released on cassette by Beijing analog label Rose Mansion Analog {who are out of stock now}, fortunately you can get it on cassette from Night People, who have kindly re-released it for those of us whom missed out the first time round! you can also acquire it digitally from bandcamp.
also, great news, a new EP is being recorded now, et should be ready for release early next year on vinyl via Rose Mansion Analog!
