Proponents of popping and locking need not dig through crates of early-'80s electro records any further: Ectomorph is here. Booming 808 drum kicks and crackling snares rub elbows with grubby bass lines and monotonic vocoder enunciations, bringing back memories of Arabian Prince and Afrika Bambaataa. Be careful, your speakers will swell while listening.
Ectomorph returns out of the void with new visceral voodoo from another dimension. Long time leaders in the Electro sound, Ectomorph dissolve boundries and inihibtions. They have come to destroy your power centers.
Ectomorph first appeared via Interdimensional Transmissions (IT) with their debut release in 1995. They have materialized in many forms since then, documenting their progressions as a stream of influential 12"es, culminating with their Sleazy Listening LP due halloween 2003. Documents include their recent Dada ep on IT, submissions on Ghostly's Disco Nouveau and Rephlex's Murora Project, and remixes of Detroit gems such as "Shari Vari" (Gigolo) and His Name is Alive (4AD).
The group has developed a new approach to sound by delivering unique in-the-moment live performances, often with additional avant theater. The frequency of these performances has created a fluid communication of structure and improvisation, based around the core nucleus of BMG & Erika. After years of performing live together, the sound of Ectomorph's recorded work finally matches the fluidity of their live performances. Such performances have taken them around the world, from the Sonar Festival to the Love Parade, from the Knitting Factory to the Empty Bottle.
