2009, Captured Tracks
VINYL FORMAT. Led Er Est was formed in early 2007 by Samuel Klovenhoof and Shawn NoEQ. Drawing from the dire textures of first-wave industrial music, the craftsmanship and ambience of postpunk and coldwave, and the primal kineticism of old school house and techno, the project was initially more of an outlet for song fragments and delirious baubles. As their sound took a more structured turn towards the end of 2007, Owen Stokes was recruited. Led Er Est strives towards that which is otherworldy and alien(ating), but also immediate and infectious. Their live performance is raw and unhinged, at times. "Poll Gorm" is a frenzied synth blast with a razor-clean guitar hook. "Man and Tree" is an ethereal drum machine psychedelic folk song with acoustic guitars. This 7" coincides with an LP on Wierd, Dust on Common.
