Announces New REV. Lab Series LP "Crows & Kittiwakes Wheel & Come Again" Out December 4th on Aagoo Records

A new entry in the REV. Lab series is connect_icut’s Crows & Kittiwakes Wheel & Come Again. Connect_icut is an electronic music producer based in Vancouver, Canada. His releases include Moss (Dehausset CD, 2005), They Showed Me the Secret Beaches (CSAF LP, 2008) and Fourier's Algorithm (CSAF download, 2010).

These albums have received a good deal of critical acclaim. Most notably, Secret Beaches was praised in Thurston Moore and Byron Coley's Arthur magazine column, as well as in The Wire, which commented that it was "(a)lways involving - and easily rewarding enough to make getting up and turning the record over an anticipatory pleasure." The music itself combines the disruptive "glitch" techniques ofOval with the melodic noise rock of My Bloody Valentine. It anchors all manner of chaotic abstraction in a solid foundation of three-chord pop.

It is also fundamentally grounded in hands-on performance and spontaneous composition. Live connect_icut appearances have included support slots for a number of notable electronic artists including Oneohtrix Point Never and Loscil. The vinyl comes with a book designed by Bas Mantel. It presents a graphic interpretation of the intense atmosphere on Crows & Kittiwakes Wheel & Come Again.Cut and pasted images explore the glitched and sequenced sound universe with its detailed constructions of hunted and alienating sound layers.

About REV. LAB.
In 2013 Bas Mantel began curating and designing the REV. Lab. series in collaboration with Aagoo Records -Alec Dartley-. The sound and tone of the label finds its inspiration in electronic, ambient, experimental, cinematic and abstract sound scapes/compositions. This series investigates the relation between the graphic translation of the music and its physical output.

1. Imperial Alabaster (Long Version)
