about

Pain Management presents a debut collaborative release from Bristolโ€™s Larry McCarthy & mysterious newcomer Eris FM. The limited edition single fuses hellish Bristolian dub with tender vocal excursions on two dark cuts, equal parts tough and tender. A heartfelt comedown offering for the hyperactive via two weapons primed for maximum emotional release.

The A sideโ€™s titular opener is a shrieking wall of dubs delay, an eerie narrative exposition. Reminiscent of blown-out early No Corner offerings; a tangled mess of sirens and harsh noise ensnare FMโ€™s disembodied commands.๐™๐™ช๐™ง๐™ฃ ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช๐™ง ๐™ฅ๐™๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™š ๐™ค๐™›๐™› / ๐™๐™š๐™ก๐™ก ๐™ฃ๐™ค ๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™š ๐™ฌ๐™๐™š๐™ง๐™š ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช ๐™–๐™ง๐™š / ๐™‚๐™ค ๐™ค๐™ช๐™ฉ / ๐™‹๐™ง๐™š๐™จ๐™จ ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช๐™ง ๐™ก๐™ž๐™ฅ๐™จ ๐™ฉ๐™ค ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™˜๐™ง๐™–๐™˜๐™ ๐™จ ๐™ž๐™ฃ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™จ๐™ค๐™ž๐™ก. Overt human vulnerability shrouded in a plosive shell of sawtoothed frequencies and machine drum paranoia. The effect is an unsettling hybrid of softness and uncertainty. A teeth-grinding mess of grit and potent anxiety primed for anti-dancefloor devastation. One to comfort the disturbed or disturb the comfortable, depending on where youโ€™re at.

On the flip โ€˜Redโ€™ applies this same methodology to a beatless format, noisy chaos swapped out for ascendent grandeur. Here FMโ€™s voice has more room to breathe, floating above an ever expanding synthscape. Reflective prosaic cohesion replaces the A sideโ€™s splintered present-tense directives.The rawness remains but on Red it takes the form of a commanding emotive clarity rather than claustrophobic uncertainty. A subtle heartbeat rhythm pulses beneath the nebulous pads, swaying like a slow dance in the early hours.

Out now on Pain Management.

about

Bruce Bristol, UK

Larry McCarthy creates postmodern rhythmic drama at the burning intersection of UK dance music. His music operates at all speeds without any predictable formula. Some tracks stutter and thump with cybernetic power; others flutter and glide in poignant shades of blurring colour. Itโ€™s a fragmented, low-frequency meltdown, evocative shimmers of light emanating from the cracks. ... more
