African Fiction – techno, techno, techno
What you may need to know…
01. African Fiction is the new nom-de-beats of former Agitate the Gravel/Elastic Sleep man Chris Somers, now holding it down as the events man at Cork’s PLUGD Records.
02. Trading shoegaze for techno, Somers utilises live synths, drum machines and guitar pedals, investing his new project with a similar density.
03. Streaming above is a sampler of what can be expected from African Fiction, in an as-yet untitled eight-minute piece.
04. Catch him this Saturday at the Triskel’s TDC space, with a live set. DJ support from OutOut, kickoff at 10.30. €4 in.
Verdict: A new chapter for one of Cork music’s hardest-working folk, with no-nonsense, ambient yet layered electronics that ought to translate well to the live stage.
dreary “please book me to berhgain I use all the right gear” soulless, unfunky sludge. next.
I saw the word ‘African’ in the title.
I demand my money back.
