Gil Barte – Claviceps Purpurea [LP]

Description

For this new full-length output, Gil. Barte delivers on Teenage Menopause an 8 track LP full of formal strength and psychedelic grandeur. Unlike the vast near-death explorations or trancey adventures he developped on various labels such as Neubau, Big Science Records, Homemade Soundsystem or his own imprint Meth’O’Tapes, the meaningfully-named Claviceps Purpurea is a botanist guide to the valleys of the mind. From the eponym opening to the ending echo, each entry is a glance at magical universal exotica. With an intense emphasis on rhythm, standing quite apart from his former releases, Gil. Barte draws the bouncing steps of a whirlwind dance rooted in western witchcraft. Raging pieces of club-destroying material (for those who dare) meet sketches of electronic fever-dreams. A full circle that is meant to run on and on, breaking the veil of daylight consciousness.
