Listen: Paul Thomas Saunders - "Wreckheads & The Female Form (Matthew Herbert remix)" [Premiere]
Brighton-based Paul Thomas Saunders has had a pretty cracking year, but it's not over yet - today we're excited to show off the Matthew Herbert remix of "Wreckheads & The Female Form".
It's a gorgeous display of masterful talent on both Herbert and Saunders' part. Minimalist loops and rhythms gradually morph into triumphant tectonic plates that shudder and wreak havoc on your emotional wellbeing. It's wildly affecting, prodding the bloody core in your chest, but this isn't achieved through lyrics - they've been chopped and screwed and hacked and hewed beyond recognition, mostly - but rather the tender relationship between blizzard-bout dry-psych and ambient techno.
Back in April, Saunders released his debut LP to widespread cheers; we gave it 8/10, with George O'Brien noting the high calibre of quality:
"Songwriting giants such as Radiohead and Jeff Buckley are names that have been flatteringly placed next to Saunders and, while it may not result in the pedestal-like of Grace and The Bends, it is a debut record that nods brilliantly to such exceptional company as well as pulling in kaleidoscopic, subtly psychedelic elements from the 60′s and early 70′s with dreamy, ethereal and thoroughly impressive results."
Saunders will be playing London's Oslo Hackney 20 November.
