Release Notes:
Go Big Shadow City, the fifth full-length from post-LA guitar
í«n drums í«n buzz duo Alpine Decline, is an index, a cypher for the
Beijing sound. Not í░the Beijing soundí▒ of their self-selected hometown
contemporaries, whom theyí»re into but beyond í¬ GBSC is the sound of
Beijing itself, as heard from the outside. Cigarette vapors caked onto
countless kmí»s of 2í▒ tape, street-level, ear-burning progress filtered
through carcinogenic dust. How to survive the smokestack? í«Walk With Mask,
A.D. languorously implores. í«Doní»t Ask Questions.í» Guitar tones glow like
neons bubbling through the proud industrial shadow clouds; they layer and loop
like the cityí»s own M?bius boulevard of creative destruction. Drums are smashed
out of rhythm with the Beijing clang, following a parallel time of Outer Ring
Road modulation.
Go Big Shadow City was recorded in the underground parking garage studio of
Beijingí»s resident post-punk demigod, P.K.14í»s Yang Haisong. Its textures are
likewise subterranean, rhizomatic. Ghost vox (í«Mid-Level Functionary In A
Criminal Syndicateí», í«Hang Around The Creasesí») and narcotic melodies
(í«Fearless In The Face Of Fateí», í«Bossí») emerge for seconds at a time before
sinking back into the soup. In the end, as always, í«The Transmission Comes
Apartí»; loop back to point 0, rebuild from scratch. This time Go Big.
