Moniker Records and Trouble In Mind are bringing you a triple release party this Friday, August 22, at The Empty Bottle!
The Pen Test is celebrating the release of Biology, a Moniker Records 7” described as “creation of a place where rigidness and chance dictate the event through the forcing of the accidental.” The creators? Brian Hitchcock and Patrick Scott-Walsh of Athens, GA, then Minneapolis, MN. Biology offers psychedelic, electronic krautrock with solid minimalistic arrangements. You don’t want to miss.
Stacian / Gel Set will open the night with combined aggressive, yet heavenly force. "Voorhees" is their first Moniker Records 12” together. It’s all the reason you need to float off in space, and then straight back down to the dance floor. Laura Callier and Dania Luck, from Chicago and Milwaukee respectively, take synth, pop and electronic sound to a new fantastical level. Stacian sets the tone with urgency and Gel Set strips the layers to core beats. Did we mention you’ll want to dance?
The solo project of Whitney Johnson from Verma is everything you want called Matchess. On August 26, Matchess releases Seraphastra, a digital LP with Trouble In Mind Records. This album makes a welcome vinyl appearance after a limited cassette release in 2013. In it, Johnson takes her own approach to modern spiritual synth music. Prepare to be unprepared for subtle melodies to suddenly find their way in the path of a squealing guitar. It happens, and it’s good.
The show starts at 9:00 PM. Tickets are $8 and can be purchased by clicking here.
