Human Teenager - Animal Husbandry LP
2012
Después de una docena de referencias dedicadas, sobre todo, a dar cabida a sonidos experimentales emparentados con el legado de las músicas sintéticas de connotaciones cósmicas, John Elliott abre la puerta de la marca Spectrum Spools al 'pop con synth' de alma post-punk. Human Teenager, dúo que forman el experimentador synth Gary War y Taylor Richardson, debuta en formato largo con “Animal Husbandry”. Grabado a lo largo de todo el pasado año en multitud de espacios, el disco navega por los mares de psicodelia pop sintetizada a bordo de una ecléctica amalgama de guitarras de alambre, samples mutantes, cajas de ritmos destartaladas y sintetizadores serpenteantes. El resultado es un trabajo que, a pesar de estar encauzado desde la abstracción y la dispersión, resulta extrañamente adictivo. Disponible a partir del 27 de marzo vía Spectrum Spools.

"Animal Husbandry" is the result of absolute, genuine obsession: a devotional masterwork with song craft, exquisite production and aesthetics regarding the ultra-damaged times we live in all in perfect harmony. Burrowed away in private studio sessions over the course of a year, Human Teenager have emerged with a profound and colorful masterpiece.
Like Chrome before them, the effects of a carbon copy community of lemming rock groups were avoided and ignored, and the vision of creating a pure, singular work was achieved. Rarely does an album with complex structure and abstract tendencies sound so organically catchy as this. The duo spawn a brand new sound that ranges somewhere between Ilitch's "10 Suicides" to the work of the Cleaners from Venus. To be clear, however, it would be impossible to plaster genre descriptors onto an album with such enormous scope. Terms like "synth-pop", "rock and roll", "punk", et cetera, can all be applied on a surface level, but at the end of the day it's none of and all of these things at the same time, more or less. Few projects are able to create and exist in a personal universe that hits the nail right on the head the way "Animal Husbandry" does. From "Fourth Reich," the albums opening cut, it's very apparent that Human Teenager have created an album that will not be able to stop listening to with its wildly morphing vocals, strafing synthesizer arrangements, and prismatic guitar detail.
Police, The New World Order, YouTube, New York; it's all a drag, and Human Teenager captures the horrors of everyday life in "the future" and holds them hostage. Spectrum Spools is very pleased to present you with an instant classic.
