: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: On Lee GambleÆs stunning first major work since Koch [2014], the :,
: rave dreamer reawakens to decode and interpret his :
:' hallucinations for Hyperdub, coming to terms with the idea of ':
,: Mnestic Pressure - a confluence of individual and collective :,
: pressures on contemporary memory - in an astonishly febrile, :
:' vivid collision and projection of jungle and ambient ':
,: structures. :,
: :
:' With his move to Hyperdub following a string of modern classics ':
,: for PAN, Lee Gamble has effectively reset his sound to realise a :,
: more intricate, restless matrix of ideas that seems to emulate :
:' the sound of a mind thatÆs too wired to sleep, rushing from an ':
,: overload of inputs which it struggles to make sense of. In this :,
: case the struggle is perfectly sur/real, making the listener :
:' unsure of whether heÆs awake or dreaming, or perhaps ':
,: experiencing some combination of the two ostensibly opposing :,
: states of mind. :
:' ':
,: As with his previous releases, Mnestic Pressure finds Lee acting :,
: as a conduit or plugged in psychopomp, absorbing the physical :
:' and mental pressures of life in London and online, and then ':
,: transmuting, firming up those feelings in an elusively abstract :,
: style that conveys the daily bombardment of the senses, and by :
:' turns the memory, in a way which the written word will never ':
,: fully capture. :,
: :
:' But in a marked departure from earlier releases, Mnestic ':
,: Pressure reveals a subtle but decisive shift away from :,
: straighter 4/4 patterns towards a constant, broken flux of :
:' meters and velocities which can perhaps be heard to reflect the ':
,: shift in popular perception of time as a linear sequence, to a :,
: more complex, difficult-to-grasp weave of timelines which expand :
:' and contract, sometimes folding in on themselves or short ':
,: circuiting in a sort of DΘjα vu or jolting hypnic jerks. :,
: :
:' ItÆs really best consumed from front-to-back in order to really ':
,: allow that tempestuous momentum to take hold, as it plays out :,
: like a live or DJ set in some of the more slippery passages, :
:' especially the psychoacoustic smudge between East Sedducke, 23 ':
,: bay Flips and Swerva, and the deft transitions from You :,
: HedonicÆs amniotic suspension to the glancing arrhythmic :
:' ballistics of UE8, but the DJs will also find very useful parts ':
,: to extract in the Rian Treanor-meets-Demdike Stare flex of :,
: Ignition Lockoff, and his absolutely deadly jungle bullet, :
:' Ghost. ':
,: :,
: For our money, itÆs LeeÆs most essential release since :
:' Diversions 1994-1996. ':
