    Consumer Electronics 'Airless Space'

    £11.99

    Consumer Electronics return with a double album of all new studio recordings produced by Russell Haswell.

    Some wondered how the songwriting team of Philip Best and Sarah Froelich would fare after the leaving their London home to take up residency in the United States.

    Well, here's the answer. Recorded in San Francisco, CE deliver 'Airless Space,' a state-of-the-union address that does for our American cousins what the band's earlier 'Estuary English' album did for a British audience poised upon the coming madness of Brexit.

    Unusually for CE, 'Airless Space' clocks in at 60 minutes, a hexed induction for a country labouring under a presidency, that like Brexit itself, few saw coming or contemplated having to endure.

    Soundwise, CE have maybe mellowed the tone a touch, allowing their electronics to stretch out and breathe, whereas the frenzied and anxious vocals of Best and Froelich remain as snatched and breathless as ever.

    Stunningly produced by Russell Haswell and gorgeously mastered by award-winning cutting engineer Matt Colton, 'Airless Space' by Consumer Electronics is their most complete and rounded statement yet.

    Available on high quality 180gm double vinyl with full colour lyric poster and CD digipack.

    Side A:
    1. Body mistakes
    2. Carnage mechanics

    President's Health Club, USA. Time to plot a hazy progress from Al's Spa Tub Motel to the Free Speech Cafe before termination at Pilgrim Drugs. Sahara Sue's been diagnosed with Closing Down Syndrome'and has retreated ghost-like to a queasy mirage of bleached-out condos and multi-lane freeways basking under great wheels of light.

    Long hours in dim warehouses scanning shelves and trying not to notice the declining shadow or gathering rot on display. Airless back rooms piled high with stacks of handwritten pages, academic journals and unfathomable tracts - Human Remains Index,'Keep Christ in Chains,'Mortuary Therapy Explained.'

    Outside the use-of-force team waits primed. She remembers a childhood visit to Atmosphere, the highest restaurant in the world, maybe from up there she did, in fact, look down and see a plan to it all.

    Punk/electro/techno-noise trio Consumer Electronics return with an album of all-new studio material, following on from last year's acclaimed "Estuary English" LP and this year's "Repetition Reinforcement" 12" on Diagonal.

    Housed in a sleeve featuring stunning cover artwork by Tokyo-based artist Trevor Brown, "Dollhouse Songs" further chronicles frontman Philip Best's trawl through the seedy thoroughfares of crumbling Tory Britain. "Learn Your Fucking Place" sneers Best in trademark-style, aping the austerity mongers of Britain's current right wing junta. Ably assisted on dark cracked electronics by Sarah Froelich and stunningly produced by noise/beat guru Russell Haswell, this latest instalment in CE's state-of-the-nation polemics is sure to be keenly anticipated.

    Featuring seven new studio tracks, 'History Of Sleepwalking', 'Knives Cut', 'Condition Of A Hole', 'Nothing Natural', 'The Push', 'Colour Climax' and 'Murder Your Masters' (the last track previously surfacing briefly as an ultra-rare gig only 7"), CE now features a twin vocal attack from the Best/Froelich husband-and-wife team, a furious tide of words spat out over a chaotic spew of mangled beats, bracing synths and state-of-the-art noise generation.

    This is their most personal and political album yet. "Dollhouse Songs" was mastered by Matt Colton at Alchemy for maximum effect. The record also comes complete with an inner sleeve featuring all the lyrics.
