Release Notes:
Still waters run deep but wild waters run deeper. Both when fronting San Fran
free-punk body-music trio Mi Ami or performing angst-dance psycho-dramas under
his solo alias, Sex Worker, Daniel Martin-McCormick always succeeds in generating
total motion (and emotion) and breaking the fourth wall. His vision of tranced/anguished
rhythm questing hits an apex on The Labor Of Love, his LP debut under the Sex Worker
guise, and weÆve been soaking in its dark arts for months. Pulsing, lo-fi kraut
electronics bubble and sputter under hazy arcs of weirdo vocal smear. Escapist
disco drum machines cruise into the horizon under a canopy of dubby accents and
FX percussion, sometimes peaking in harsh frenzies of echo-scream meltdowns. All
three pieces function as anthems or elegies or protest songs articulating DanielÆs
heavy anti-sex trafficking/enslaved bodies activist agenda but you donÆt have to
know the depths of the ethical framework to grasp the vibe. An intensely unique
and hyper-personal statement from one of our favorite west coast music-dreamers.
Black vinyl LPs in jackets designed by the artist. Edition of 450.
