Beau Wanzer (Mutant Beat Dance) is back but for his home label NATION, Chicago further down the experimental song route than we've heard from him before.

Nation has returned...

A label designed to push the underground to a new level of electronic sound through experimental styles of musical consciousness. In our recent releases the idea is to never go with the same formula twice...

This is why we emerge for our second release of 2014 with a 10" by long-time Nation affiliate Beau Wanzer.
Four sedated tunes. Subtle and not so subtle frequencies drag aside gloomed out rhythms and beat less malfunctions.

'Power Outage' slithers along a marching waltz undercurrent of frizzled out electronics accompanied by broken spectral voices.

'Fabrics' is a malformed hollow arpeggio interlude that worms across the floor.

'Lotraf' is a demented rhythm track with an odd sense of urgency, underneath blankets of weird home movies.

'Thurston Moog' is a contorted synth jam, built upon various recordings and manipulating them into a mesh of guttural tones.
