"Electronic shapeshifters Various Production return with
their second vinyl outing of 2008, a 7-inch that continues
to establish their credentials as one of the most
unhindered and effortlessly creative studio units
operating anywhere today. Following January's thundering
'Diver' EP, Various Production have remained hard at work
behind the mixing desk, and are now within touching
distance of completing their hotly-anticipated second
album, from which these latest tracks are drawn. Staking
claim to territory both well within and far outside the
dubstep nation which gave them their first flash of
notoriety, this new single leads with 'Maskmen', a banging
dub-charged marriage of VP's trademark claustrophobia with
a punkoid lyrical hook that could well be their most
insistent to date. Tracing a line from dubstep's rushing
sub-bass physicality to the equally visceral thrill of
howling dirtrock vocals, 'Maskmen' nails the harder-edged
sound they have been developing in their many notable live
shows of the last year, while keeping faith with punk's
time-zero credo as the uncredited singer intones a looped
assertion that "the future's now for you and me". This is
the acid seeping from dance culture's recklessly abandoned
batteries, corroding deep below the surface, staining
indelibly wherever it spreads. Conversely, 'Wot U Say'
finds our hosts working through a long-held obsession with
Django Reinhardt, while introducing a distinctive new
female voice to their fold. Possessed of an alchemical
quality that marks it out as uniquely Various, the tune's
("real") spanish guitar and rusty ale-house piano rattle
across a game junkyard jazz shuffle, as a smartly crafted
lyric administers an iron-fist-in-velvet-glove beatdown to
all the vapid mini-Allens who insist upon getting in the
way of better things. As XTC so emphatically exclaimed,
"This Is Pop!". The future may be now for you and me, but
Various Production were there first."
Many apologies for the annoying and ironic lack of bass
last time. It was a schoolboy error, and needless to say,
the persons responsible shall never work in this town
again.
Enjoy these instead.
