RELEASE DATE
4/10/2020
After their critically acclaimed
Chroma
LP (BRD 024LP, 2017),
Femme
-- the group of
Arno Bruil
(
France Sauvage
,
Descendeur
) and
Jo Tanz
(
Opéra Mort
,
Fusiller
) -- release
Ruderal Exotique
augmenting their psychedelic electronics explorations in reconceived territories, this time an artificial growth of urban decay on irradiated nature as experienced within
Ken Russel
's intoxicated and prodigious mind directing
Altered States
(1981). Best experienced in an isolation tank, an airport capsule hotel or on a silent electric car chase buzzing through
Tim Buckley
's snapshot of smoggy-out L.A.,
Ruderal Exotique
is a flourish of slow burning synapses, the tiny magnetic connections that desperately cling and look for each other when your mind expects the hammer to finally conclude the ordeal while your body languishes on a stone in the bright sun of Midsommar.
Ruderal Exotique
is lounge music for
Bob
, or
Bruce
, or
Fred
, growing Mors Ontologica on the farm, in Dick's
A Scanner Darkly
(1977), a new-path laid out by
Throbbing Gristle
's
Chris Carter
now twisted and tangled even further, branching out from the future of technology back into the present of
Zelazny
's
24 Views of Mt. Fuji, by Hokusai
(1985). Growing new species as a result of destroying older species, life emerges from the industrial rubble that looks like scar tissue and smells like steel laced with lichen. To the biotech DIY apprentices of Femme, immersing in this cesspool of environmental data is a joy and their music glows in the dark of globalized waste as a symphony of gleaming flora and strident fauna. It is as reassuring as
Virginia Astley
's gardens, as vibrant as
Steve Reich
's big city collages and as evocative as the
Gerogerigegege
's
Uguisudani Apocalypse
(2019). It is a world of its own, yet it is also our world as it is today, AI machines advancing thru genetically modified corn fields, shredding up cicadas and worms, planting steel shards in their place that will rust and give way to the new machine, documented by
Stephen Mallinder
and
Richard H. Kirk
. Long live the new flesh of the Femme realist resistance!
