Petit Cochon vinyl

Prostitutes aka James Donadio has released his beautifully odd cluster of sounds on some of the hottest labels around, including our favourite Opal Tapes, and the uncompromising Mira series together with the likes of Shifted under his Covered In Sand moniker. This time, however, he lands a considerably larger role in the form of a debut LP for the ever-impressive Spectrum Spools, a label that has put out everything from Container's first tracks to a reissue of the gnarliest techno sounds by Donato Dozzy and Nuel under their Aquaplano guise. Petit Cochon is experimental music at its purest, where Donadio successfully blends ritualistic drones together with industrial landscapes and metallic swirls of percussion. It's one of those that should be listened to from start to finish, possibly while walking through some desolate terrains, but we do have some personal picks. "Build Your Kits" is an electrifying 4/4 monster that would pulverise any dancefloor, while "Cylindrical Habitat" is a wonderful slice of chaos and doom, wrapped in a thick coating of sonic fuzz. Another Spools classic...
