Co La - "BB Burn"

New TrackstheneedledropComment

https://soundcloud.com/primaryinformation/co-la-bb-burn Baltimore-based electronic musician Matthew Papich (a.k.a. Co La) is back with a new album that delivers more of the complex beats and disorienting samples that have intrigued us in his past work. Hegemony of Delete's six tracks offer subtle, digressive, and glitchy compositions that revel in both the banal and the tangential. In Hegemony, there is no difference between work and play--Co La conflates the relative coldness of the workplace with the distractive element of leisure. The result is something at once mundane and captivating. See what I mean with track "BB Burn" above. Happy listening!

Hegemony of Delete is out now via Primary Information. Our review of Co La's previous full-length:

Co La - "Deaf Christian"

VideosadminComment

Co La is the pseudonym of Maryland music producer Matthew Papich. He's got a new album on the way via the Software Label, and the tracks he's dishing out sit at an interesting crossroads, incorporating samples, danceable grooves, and an extremely strange sound palette. Papich has an ear for sounds both experimental and accessible, and blends them together in the track featured in the music video above, "Deaf Christian." As far as the video, uh, I'll leave it to you to make sense of that.

Co La's Moody Coup will be dropping on May 7th.
