Known for a love of weird fiction and acidic techno, this artist continues to bring fresh ideas to the table
We last checked in with Brooklyn based producer “Cassilda and Carcosa” back in October last year when they dropped an LP with the Virginia based Ingrown Records. The sound and style output by the project is vibrant with unique flavour, embracing acid flicks and faithfully electronic melodies. The moniker adopted also speaks to the artist’s taste for the unusual, itself a reference to the work of famous science fiction author.
That ambience of science fiction sits as one of the core themes at work within Cassilda and Carcosa’s discography, that and a determination to avoid typical digital audio workstations in favour of their own varied range of analogue mixers, sequencers and synthesisers.
That predilection for more old school quality resurfaces in our featured track from the New York artist, titled “The King in Yellow”. An experimental IDM track which fits a hazy bassline under scattered sonic beats, The King in Yellow is taken from “TX-81Z”, a four track EP and Cassilda and Carcosa’s most recent collection.
The EP returns to that new age glitch and acid fed techno which become a tribute to the world of weird fiction. It’s bouncy, technically proficient, and slides in a hint of groove.
