Robot Elephant Records favourite Sounds of 2011 - Ourobonic Plague - Gaap

Ourobonic Plague is something like the mad professor of distorted Hip Hop beats with geek lyrics (see Alec Holland Is Dead), cinematic tentaculous drones (see The Kraken) and blackened techno anthems (see Sea Beyond) - and for us definitely one of the most exciting artists to look out for 2012!  He dropped tracks and EPs here and there, and the Gaap EP is the pinnacle of his work, yet…

Ourobonic Plague - GAAP

Music we are digging in the Robot Elephant Towers #5 

A bit of a gap here in our weekly series of MWADITRET, due to travels and festivals not having enough time to maintain this, but we are now back to normal business, this time with a certain individual based out of Perth / Australia going by the name Ourobonic Plague, I am following since a bit less than a year, someone who has proven to be able to constantly improve his sound, refine his style and incrementally ramping up the quality of his tracks.

Following an AMDisc Album Release of “Moon Worship” and an excellent self-released single Spirit /// Gremlins, GAAP is at the moment the pinnacle of his creative output- as there are actually real songs in there, structured and compressed to a digestible 3-4 Minute format, and on top of that banging, banging in the strictest sense of the meaning of the word “banging”, especially the Goth-Hop opener “Alec Holland Is Dead” and the techno/industrial stomper “Sea Beyond” - it’s definitely worth spending a couple hard-earned bucks on it, for sure!

Robot Elephant on Infectious Unease Radio Show presented by the ever charming and supportive Sammantha Leesonja, featuring a couple of tracks of future releases, incl. from the upcoming RER vs. Tundra Dubs. Ourobonic Plague - The Outer Aphabet, The Church of Synth from the RER side, Funerals and ∆AIMON from the Tundra side and lots of incredible tracks from other artists such as Mascara, Gummybear, Ritualz, Blissed Out, Scythe, Ceremonial Daggers and more. ., ., ., . ,. ,

Elektritter of Robot Elephant Records made this mixtape full of awesome music featuring the likes of Tearist, The Soft Moon, Factory Floor, Demdike Stare, Dead Fader and Photek, and it also contains 3 exclusive previews of upcoming Robot Elephant Records releases, yeah!

The Church of Synth - Der Fall von Leviathan

Robot Elephant Records will be releasing the debut of The Church of Synth! Aimed for September 2011, the drone-tastic heavy 6-Track LP will be coming on 12” Vinyl, CD and Digital Download, along with some bonus downloads of incredible remixes courtesy of Wisconsins dark drone Lord Burial Hex, Perth-based noisenick Ourobonic Plague and London’s latest Avant-Garde Audio Artist The Haxan Cloak.

The video above is for the single “Der Fall von Leviathan” - or in English “The Fall of Leviathan”  - showcasing some of the basic elements of this music, and despite the drone  / noise / long runtime not missing out a small but sweet pop sensitivity that goes through the works of the Church of Synth.

The Church of Synth will be playing Live in London at the following dates:

• Monday June 20th - CAMP Basement with Ritualz and Design a Wave - Tickets
• Saturday June 25th - The Victoria (Mile End) - CAGE Clubnight
