LDY OSC- Electric-Earthy-Esoteric
Squirrels on Film, 2021
Vinyl 12”
Squirrels On Film is delighted to share a haunted song cycle of kosmiche dark-wave/cold-rave sonic incantation from Alyssa Auvinen Barrera aka LDY OSC. “Electric-Earthy-Esoteric” follows phenomenal EPs on The Bunker New York & Sweden's Kontra-Musik by the Mexican born, Texas raised musician & DJ who currently resides in Vienna. LDY OSC uses synthesis, rhythm & voice to conjure layered compositions that draw from post-punk, techno, dub & underground synth-wave.
Bad Connection pairs 80s Horror synths with a dynamic vocal performance, sultry Pink Room Twin Peaks cabaret one minute, guttural post punk shrieks the next. The rhythm section of vintage drum computers is drenched in soupy reverb.
Generate is full-on cosmic forest rave, rays of bright lysergic sunshine & boundless blue sky within an EP that largely inhabits misty moonlit nightscapes. Her distinctive percussive vocalizations bounce and echo around the laser-focused motorik propulsion & vaporous clouds of synthesizers.
Give Me is vampiric late night techno, an anthem of frustration & release, the sound of a grim overcrowded warehouse in Sheffield transcendent with ecstasy, her vocals providing urgent humanity within the cold machine structures.
Red Cosmic Moon is an epic atmospheric dub soundscape, a miasma of witchcraft, phantasmal woods bathed in celestial radiance, otherworldly spirits making contact with an earthly realm.
These incredible tracks were mastered by San Francisco Industrial Techno OG Mark Pistel & the vinyl features an original double-sided full-color image by Squirrels On Film Artist In Residence Bert Bergen. There are exclusive instrumental versions of Give Me & Red Cosmic Moon available digitally. We feel this is a special entry in the Squirrels catalog & we're privileged to share it with the world.
