No Past Lives vinyl

With releases on the likes of Saturate, Alpha Pup and Plasma, it was only a matter of time before Zachariah Alderson landed a Mad Zach EP on Methlab. "No Past Lives" leaves you under no illusion about Zach's abilities or the whole mission of the EP. Fast-paced, cosmic, layered in melodic lines, sinewy acid lines and a dark sense of hope you'd imagine Future Sound Of London conjuring, had they come 30 years later. "Strangeloop" is a little more introverted in its nature but gradually rises in tension and tone throughout while "Seek Refuge" is an electrified snake writhing and craning out of its hole, spitting pure voltage at anyone in a five mile radius. Finally long-time friend and collaborator Yunis joins the fray for closing track "What Is This Place?". A different tempo and tone but still the same message; Zach builds musical universes that take time to explore. See you in the next life... Not.
