Collate have been a band I've been really into since I heard their self-released 12" on bandcamp also I struck up a friendship with Erika who had been aware of what I was doing musically with Suburban Homes and I guess we both had a mutual understanding and apprieciation of each others musical vision.
I was super pleased to release Collate and feel this release is a very mature development from their other self released records.
The 45 see's the band at their most jagged and disjointed the single is topped by the chaotic 'Communication'; a spiky ode to all forms of interaction delivered by the group in their most attacking style.
the b-side 'Selective Memory' deals with the oft taboo subject of 'Gaslighting', the track has the repetitive angular sounds similar to groups such as Josef K, yet also remaining wholly American with strong influences with Devo, Pere Ubu and Pylon.
Record is limited to 300 copies and comes housed in a risograph printed fold-over sleeve included with each 45 is an insert printed by Erika of the group and download code (sourced at the group´sbandcamp page)
