Blanck Mass follows up his 2015 LP Dumb Flesh with The Great Confuso, a brand new EP effort out today via Sacred Bones. Benjamin John Power recorded the new work at the end of this summer, and the title song’s three part suite composes the bulk of the EP.
Today we give a listen to “The Great Confuso (Pt. I)“, a technicolor electronic odyssey that summons a maze of memories from the UK’s rave heydays. Built around a phasing bassline and melody, Powers multi-layered rhythms provide dizzying intricacy here, while helium huffing vocals eventually complete the strobodelic spell. Look for The Great Confuso to also contain remixes of Dumb Flesh tracks “Dead Format“, “No Lite“, and “Detritus” by the artists Dalhous, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, and Konx Om Pax, respectively.
