Damon Locks: 3D Sonic Adventure (Self-Released)
Full-throatedly recommend the latest solo and self-released collage and art-based jam from Black Monument Ensemble's Damon Locks. This LP does not have wide distribution, so don't pause.
We go back more than 35 years admiring Locks' musical output, one of the most vital and consistently innovative sound and visual artists of our era, Chicago or otherwise. We loved Trenchmouth, The Eternals, Exploding Star Orchestra, and more recently, Black Monument Ensemble. Locks remains one of the great vocalists of our era, delivering lines like most hope to hear, emphatic, strange, and poignant. And the collage-based sound work on this LP put the vocals in curious and strange relief.
Only 250 copies pressed to vinyl, no digital available, aimed to "level down" the speed of music consumption and to encourage what Locks describes as a more dynamic "interaction[] with music." Packaging reflects this focus, an extra heavy insert sleeve, homemade and textured to touch. This 3D feels quite tactile!!
Grab it while we got it!!
