Mordant Music - Baron Mordant (ex-Portion Control member Ian Hicks) and Admiral Greyscale - release the debut album "Dead Air" in a stunning multi-foldout 'tear' shaped sleeve.
This 20 track album mixes industrial and cadaverous electronica, like a lost episode of Dr. Who., into one long, dark transmission. The album also features the opulent tones and pathos of former cult Thames Television announcer Philip Elsmore. Fans of Portion Control's 'Wellcome' should look into this exercise in electronic couture. This is the amplified sound of 'Dead Air'. More info: www.mordantmusic.com.
