T4TLUVNRG returns with a new release from Rrose, an artist who has been broadcasting transmissions of esoteric minimalism to the worldwide underground for nearly three decades. Stretching across eras and intentionalities within their work, they invite listeners to inhabit unfamiliar realms of phenomena in the dance. Influenced by the surrealist whimsy of Marcel Duchamp & fellow provocateurs in the Dada movement; the artist as self, subject, and instrument is disassembled, embraced, & reassembled back again into an enticingly abstract form under the sonic melding of experiential sound & techno as the medium.

Rrose’s captivating dexterity & evocative tension courses with an arcane fluidity throughout each of the record’s three tracks; their entrancing qualities perfect as tools to supplement the rhythmically inclined DJ bag, or as standalone experiences in circadian perception. “Second Coming” arises in vaporous glamour & undulating perceptive shifts, unfurling an atomic web of percussion occupying an elegant liminality evolved by the listener as participant. “Triplicate” expands our journey further, a dance of glimmering waves inside an elastic cocoon, molting with new anatomical downloads in between spaces of stillness, movement, & rippling kinetic vectors. As the B side morphs into “Silhouettes”, we glide onwards in a dance of smoldering glow, threads of energy conduction meld & drape themselves over subsonic pulsations, free flowing into constellations of momentum over a sprawling canvas.

The seeds of this project were planted during a fateful evening shared between Rrose & label head Octo Octa at a gig held in a former mortuary in Bristol, involving everything from nudity and mud, to gongs and piercing needles. It’s only right that through this nonsensical, & dare we say “Dada-esque” experience, that the two became friends. Within these layers of absurdity, a mutual appreciation of nature, & a later collaboration in Rrose’s curation of the ambient-leaning Air Texture series, “2 or 3 Drops of Savagery Have Nothing To Do With Height” was brought to life in a characteristic stream of delicate composition, fantastical wordplay, and the beauty of unknowing.

Through moving bodies, emphasizing the tactile qualities of sound, & inducing transcendent states of being, T4TLUVNRG finds synergy in the ecstatic with Rrose’s intents of the project; psychedelia at it’s most transformative & grounding node, letting subsonic pulsations and threads of energy conduction guide you deeper & deeper into an enveloping beat.
