Harm Stryker,
To Kill a Petty Bourgeoisie Split 7" single
Minimal. Everything about this release is a study in minimalism, from the wonderful silk-screened sleeve art to the monolithic sounds on the plate. The two contributing groups take the barest of sonic elements and working them into electronic ambient landscapes that are both spare and uncompromising. The Harm Stryker track is the more conceptual of the two, being little more than a slow digital pulse in the manner of a heartbeat, laid over furtive background tones and left alone until late in the piece. There is more to the To Kill a Petty Bourgeoisie track, but just barely. A surprisingly delicate track of shifting tones and environmental sounds, the songs tempo and thematic movement are both incredibly deliberate, and its most rewarding aspects are found in its complex and beautiful textures. You probably want this record.
