NOT IN STOCK, SPECIAL ORDER
Clown & Sunset presents the vinyl-only debut album from Acid Pauli. "I moved to Berlin after quitting my job as a journalist covering culture for an inconsequential (albeit progressive) Middle Eastern magazine. Days after I left the region, the first protests began in Tunisia. I visited Renate that week because Nicolas Jaar recommended it when we met in London around Christmas time. When I mentioned that I might move to Germany, he brought up Acid Pauli -- which is how I first found out about his interpretation of Will Oldham's 'I See a Darkness,' and some of his other projects with The Notwist. A few nights later, I returned to Renate, observing from afar as Acid gently wrangled the dancefloor. His set activated a space that was both free-flowing and eclectic -- the opposite of what I had expected (however ignorantly) to find in Berlin. I tracked Acid down after he finished playing and introduced myself properly this time. Eventually, he explained that he had just completed an album for Clown & Sunset. He called it mst. After pleading with him to let me listen, he handed over a miniature mirror that doubled as a USB drive. It was an appropriate medium for an album that acts reflexively. Each of the nine tracks coaxes your attention, and then plays with it like the hall of mirrors in a funhouse. Songs accelerate or break down without warning, before leaping right back into the rhythm or alternating into a new one. Acid Pauli's voice never appears, and so you substitute your own internal monologue -- whether you're waltzing to '(La Voz) Tan Tierna' or weeping to 'Eulogy to Eunice.' mst extends the atmospherics past the dancefloor, refracting the idiosyncrasies of our existence back into our everyday lives." --Lola Marie-Saint, New York, December, 2011
