Official Press Release:
Another new year heralds another dimension to the output of Wagon Repair label head and criminally talented producer Mathew Jonson, as ‘Symphony For The Apocalypse’ looks to the ultimate end at the beginning of 2008. Just as the ‘Stop EP’ in 2007 introduced an introspective and personal contrast to his role as one third of the extroverted Cobblestone Jazz, this single further explores some of the darker edge noticeable in Cobblestone’s acclaimed debut album ’23 Seconds’.
Opener ‘Twin Cobras’ is a deep and technical dissection of techno and dub, with some stark industrial influences reminiscent of Skinny Puppy and the colder Warp output.Complex tinny percussion is smoothed by a lulled synth melody and livened up with buzzing sine tones to the distant sound of pad explosions. Hypnotically it subtly snakes and scales to a rapturous peak before
unleashing it’s bite.
On the flip side, title track ‘Symphony For The Apocalypse’ opens with a lone affected horn melody and sparse pads that lead into a creeping cyclical passage. Metallic percussion rides high in the mix, eclipsed by a cold and needling static synth that leads a cataclysmic climax.
