Sealess Sea

VINYL FORMAT. Limited to 500 copies! Sealess See is the sound of the world. It's like Epstein's (aka Roberto Carlos Lange) MPC sampler is strung up on every telephone wire, duct taped to every bus stop, hidden in every mailbox and wire-tapped to every telephone in an 800 block radius of his Crown Heights, Brooklyn apartment. It's a gushing, forward-surge into the mics and sampler. And what comes out? Bass, beats - soundscape dance jams. It's noise-influenced but structurally tight - a slow wash of drones and percussion morphing into hot, humid, end-of-summer blockparty music. Over the course of seventeen tracks and 37.7 minutes, Sealess See is a beachy landscape of summer sound. The key word here is, of course, sea. This new full-length is Lange's dissertation on ideas of swimming and drowning, of awesomely weird sea animals and full psychic immersion. It's a record that feels like a thing born from water - a warbling undersea journey from tropical surface to sun-filtered depths (imagine an octopus' garden party only with DJs instead of Beatles.) These are collages (Lange likens Epstein music to graffiti, a direct mind-to-mics recording experience) where a whole prismatic spectrum of sound comes through your speakers, a colorful bouillabaisse of influences, samples rising up out of the broth, surprising drum breaks, and hyper-visual, gently blown-out noise asides. Meet the new Epstein album, Sealess See! Turn it up loud and hear the whole world!
