Standish/Carlyon - Deleted Scenes [LP]

Vinyl LP pressing. 2013 debut album by the futurist Dub Pop duo comprised of bassist/vocalist Conrad Standish and guitarist Tom Carlyon, both formerly of noir Rock group Devastations. Continuing the process begun on the final Devastations album, moving away from full-band arrangements towards submerged electronic rhythms and late-night altered states. The atmosphere throughout is one of surreal chic. In rich baritone or impressive falsetto, Standish intones dark, absurdist lyrics over the band's shimmering take on Dub, a sensual, ultramodern gloss disturbed by deep vibrations.
