Martin Rev, the avant keyboard half of NYC punk pioneers Suicide, releases a solo album on the Blast First Petite label. Stigmata was recorded in New York City and features 14 tracks that heave with glitched-out, digitally-distorted, synthetic orchestral sounds -- quite unlike anything he has released before. A timely "flash-forward" of an album, it has already been described as "genius" by Spiritualized main man, Jason Pierce, and continues Rev's now four decades of eclectic electronic musicianship. And to further celebrate the album's release, Neu Galleries (London) showed a series of Rev's "abstract instinctive scores" throughout November 2009. Blast First Petite also continues to celebrate Martin Rev's partner, Alan Vega's 70th birthday with the release of their Suicide covers series with tracks from Bruce Springsteen, Primal Scream, Peaches, Sunn 0))), Lydia Lunch, Iggy Pop, Julian Cope, Vincent Gallo, and many more.
