Aj Pain U-Heads

ACC Records is proud to announce its first adventure beyond the archive: “executive information music” from London-based, Bulgarian-born artist AJ Pain (Stan Iordanov).
Deeply material and materially cold, yet always haunted by some kind of shimmer reminding us of a luminescence behind, U-Heads is a mineral collection of tracks that push and yield, difficult music that’s easy to fall into, neurotic at home and ecstatic in the club. The pulse is the great protagonist here – across the seven tracks we’re turning, ticking, knocking, scraping, feeling a million modulations on what a beat might be, in a panorama made up of striated and broken waves, lambent textures and metallic arabesques. From the wooden, determined gallop of "BS Prop" to the nocturnal prowl that is "Swivels" right through to "Headless", a 6 AM invocation dressed up as thuggish dancefloor banger, this is a cerebral, brave and elegant record that leaves you wondering what’s left of the idea of industrial music in a post-industry world.
