I’ve been devoting all my time and attention to two things, readership, the construction of an extremely powerful end of year list, capable of destroying all other end of year lists and full of songs and albums so potent that most of them will ruin the careers of the artists who penned them them by growth of the crippling terror that they’ve peaked and may never again match the intensity of their release. That sentence kind of ended in a reasonably gross climax, didn’t it? No matter, don’t worry about it, there’s new B-side and a new single from Guerre (in that order) launched last week. I can’t say why but it always seems that Guerre’s B-sides are better than his A-sides. Not that J U D G E / L O C K isn’t a bloody beautiful piece from one of the few true bassmen Australia possesses. He manipulates the low end gloriously putting it through constant programmed runs and my word, he knows EXACTLY how to add weight without over thickening the cream on the beat end.

If you’re listening through a laptop or your iphone headphones then this is your official cease and desist. There is absolutely no point hearing this song unless it’s through any half decent+ system. You won’t hear any of the lows because they’re as subtle as Shackleton’s own tribal manoeuvres which is high praise and something not worth missing. It’s not the sort of sound you’ll see appearing in Triple J’s Next Crop but it’s more modern than the artists in said list combined. He’s demonstrated a profound ability to generate three dimensional soundscapes through clever levelling and sharp, thought-out production choices (see A M O N G from a few months back) but J U D G E / L O C K sees him penetrating particularly British territories.

He’s got a full record out via bandcamp and a number of other singles that you need to be across as well work within Black Vanilla and under the moniker of Cassius Select and that’s probably about enough conjunctions for one sentence.
