DEAD FADER - 'Scorched' - LP/CD
(Small But Hard)

In the wake of 2012's Work it, No, Dead Fader returns with not one, but two full length releases. The dual release format celebrates the two distinct strains of Cohen's output.

Most recognised for his sonic extremity, previous Dead Fader work has focused on heavy distortion, melding noise with infectious dancefloor sensibility. With Scorched, this world collapses in on itself. Stripped back textures expose raw extremity and breadth. The album teeters on it's fulcrum, maxed into the red, rhythm pushing and pulling to a fine-tuned tension and solidarity.

Blood Forest redresses the balance, introducing bittersweet textures and lush detuned synth melodies. Neoclassical influences are fragmented and reinvented, sprinkled with elements of electronic classics such as Boards of Canada. Cohen's masterful battle between chaos and control, tension and release provokes all the right emotional responses, without giving it away too easily.

Dead Fader's artistic voice is confident and full of clarity. Borrowing elements from a vast array of genres, he reconstructs reality, the result an exhilarating mix of the familiar and the forbidden. It is this fusion of elements that is the glue holding together the two offerings, simultaneously complementary and contrasting in style.

The album is preceded by the release of the single "In Cover", featuring two non-album tracks ("Hiphoop" and "Altar Ego"), pre-order for the single is available now at:
