Black Meteoric Star No More White Presidents

NMWP is an experimental film directed and soundtracked by Russom. This 12"
contains 3 choice excerpts. The soundtrack was originally self-released by Gavin on
cassette, but this is the first vinyl outing. The artwork on this release is by Marc
Monguilod. At the start of 2017, Russom came out as a Trans-Woman and her
transition is one of the themes explored in NMWP, as well as broader topics such as
capitalism and death. Gavin Rayna Russom has been releasing music since 1997 under
her own name and a string of aliases. Russom was the driving force behind The
Crystal Ark with Viva Ruiz, and for the last few years has been an integral part of
LCD Soundsystem. The music of NMWP is dark and claustrophobic yet exciting. As
far as the dancefloor goes, it is suitable only for the darkest of clubs. Stealth
Technology features jarring oscillating synths, angular beats and waves of acid. Three
Trains is a short track where tape hiss drifts over a tough rhythmic section and a
dark bassline. Coffin Maker finishes the release with punishing beats, oscillating acidic
synth lines and a growling bass. Not for the faint hearted!
