Experimental techno bod,' Pantha Du Prince' signed to Rough Trade earlier this year and his next album 'Black Noise' will be released in early Feb next year.
According to possibly the press worst press release I've read in some time, "on his new album, Pantha Du Prince, who lives in Berlin and Paris, claims: music slumbers in all matter; any sound, even silence, is already music. The mission, then, must be to render audible what is unheard and unheard of: black noise, a frequency that is inaudible to man. Black noise often presages natural disasters, earthquakes or floods; only some animals perceive this “calm before the storm.” Black noise is something archaic and earthy."
As the wince inducing press release hurtles onwards to disappear fully up it's own orifice we are told that, "The music on 'Black Noise' balances precariously on the slippery threshold between art and nature, between techno and folklore, which lends it a certain spectral and intangible aspect."
Well, I'm not sure about any of that guff but his past releases over the last 18 months or so have been pretty much spot on, nice deep & slow techno and the guests who feature on the new album – Noah Lennox of 'Animal Collective' sings on 'Stick to my side' and Tyler Pope of '!!!' and 'LCD Soundsystem' plays bass on 'The Splendour' - suggest a definite forward step.
Anyhoo, you can judge for yourself and get a sample of of the new album with the aforementioned track 'The Splendour' below.
