King Yosef‘s new album “Spire Of Concern” is in line for an August fifteenth launch date by way of his personal label Bleakhouse. That report finds the hip hop turned experimental industrial noise musician elevating his sound to additional extremes, as evidenced by the under George Douglas Peterson-directed video for the track “Molting Concern“. Recording periods for the report happened at GodCity Studio in Salem, MA with Kurt Ballou (of Converge) and Zach Weeks. Yosef himself said:
“The concept of this track was to attempt to push the King Yosef factor so far as I presumably might, with none guitars. There’s no conventional instrumentation on this, apart from drums. I needed to make one thing the place it bought larger in a shorter span of time than something I’ve carried out earlier than. It was about blurring the traces of ‘what is that this instrument, what’s that sound,’ and taking it to a really terrifying place.”
As for the album, the Oregonian transplant said:
“‘Spire Of Concern‘ is influenced by Portland, as a result of I’m impressed by my mates. Between the time you spend collectively hanging out, going to one another’s exhibits or being on the studio when every of us report, it kind of all bleeds collectively into this wonderful factor that creates a sound for the place we’re at. Portland’s DIY scene is constantly rising and remodeling into the perfect model of itself I’ve seen since transferring right here 10 years in the past.”
