Vasco Lé – These Tears Feel So Eerie – K7

Description

“These Tears Feel So Eerie” is the third release of Vasco Lé. His debut, ‘You Know, Everybody Wanna Say “I Do This, I Do That”. Everyone Acts Like They’re Hard as Shit. But Just Stop’, was self-released before being reissued on CD with Turva. This was followed by his audio work made for Andre Pipa’s ‘Instalação 001’, ‘In Response to Apathetic Behaviour and the All-Consuming Nature of the Violent Productive City’.

While this project shares a distant kinship with vapourwave’s sampledelia—its collage mechanics, blurred & pitched-down disfigurations & all-in-the-red LoFi sheen—Lé‘s release eschews that nostalgic impulse often present that lineage. More apt is to place Lé’s musical dynamism & rhythmic frenzy amongst the language of the PTP crew (Speaker Music / DeForrest Brown Jr., KVU, Saint Abdullah) or the London-school of tricksters (Dean Blunt, Inga Copeland, Klein).

“These Tears Feel So Eerie” is Perf‘s fifth instalment, & first tape release.
