Joe Cocherell & Montalk Interpretations Of Paper Dollhouse

Resilience returns from under the floorboards with the second release following geographic relocations from the core crew. Having met London-based artist Paper Dollhouse at a gig in the North of England and become friends over a shared love of jungle, post punk & techno she passed us a selection of unreleased ambient pieces.

We commissioned close friends Joe Cocherell of Downwards America/Frozen Border fame and mysterious operators Montalk to take two of the pieces and compose their own interpretations. Joe’s version comes across like an L.A. Desert cover of Basic Channel 8 with a drone breakdown reminiscent of the Kevin Drumm classic ‘Imperial Distortion’. On the flip Montalk come on strong with something that sounds like little before; thunderous bass creeps over a distorted synth line with Astrud's vocals washed away. An industrial strength mixture of brokenhearted beats recalling the recent output of Andy Stott crossed with the DNA of early DMZ/Loefah productions.
