MODERN
WITCH - "BABYLON"
(tut026)
LP - black vinyl - 1 insert - limited edition of +/-
300 copies
“Babylon”
is the twin-LP to last year’s “Hollywood”, the
second and last part of the MODERN WITCH
retrospective on TuT/RuR.
The
story of MODERN WITCH began 7 years ago in Denver,
Colorado, when graphic artist Mario Zoots, singer
Kristy Fenton and house veteran Kamran Khan started
recording experimental music together on an old VHS
camera. In the space of a few years, a couple of
very limited tape and CD/R releases on labels such
as Disaro and Clan Destine Records, and a series of
spooky performances both in Europe and on the
American continent, the trio has become a true
underground reference for creepy, ritualistic dance
music, in the muddy but oh so fascinating waters
between Witchhouse and Minimal Synth. Drunk on 80s
cold wave, bathed in suburbian occult decadence and
haunted by dead celebrities, “Hollywood” and
“Babylon” are a feast of thaumaturgic synth lines,
nonchalant but captivating mpc 1000 – sequences,
drugged-out spoken words and ghostly voices.
American Angst or Minimal Doom electronics at their
best!
