Dry Erase Decay Model LP
DRY ERASE blends slinky post-punk, lo-fi electronics, non-sequitur lyrics, and hip hop phrasings to create a fascinating full-length. “Go Out Quick” starts the record with nods to MASSIVE ATTACK in a slow-motion trip-hop exercise with close-to-the-mic smooth rapped vocals and carefully controlled guitar feedback. Tracks like “Claude is Cold” and “Deposed” build patterns of sun-faded synths to support a BOARDS OF CANADA meets coldwave meets early BECK feel. “Blue Light” sounds like the backing music was created by the Starship Enterprise: all theremin and chirping Moog octaves bouncing through space dust. Check it out for a unique, beat-driven approach several evolutionary stages away from traditional post-punk.
