"The dystopian frontier is near, but never fear. In the new era of endlessness where we hide ourselves as humans among androids, there is hope. On
Endless Bummer
, the second album from Pink Skull, the producer duo of Julian Grefe and Justin Geller rip out the tracking chip and jump the grid on a quest for purity among putridity. Lysergic traces from Pink Skull's electro-fried debut
Zeppelin 3
LP reappear on
Endless Bummer
in ghostly tape delays and trigger hits but this album favors the man-made over the machine. Grefe's vocals, both sung and sampled in harmony, humanize lead off track 'Peter Cushing' and 'Oh, Monorail', while the expanded 'live' Pink Skull line up of drums, bass, and guitar animalize the skittish acid tracks 'Chicken Inside Egg' and 'Gonzo's Cointreu'. Where
Bummer
mellows slightly, Skull's spirit animal Geller takes tracks like 'Wheet' and 'Fired, So Fired' into outer kosmische territories. The result of this balance parallels the
Bummer
along the various lines of PIL's
Metal Box
, The Orb's
Pomme Fritz
EP, the tropicalia Dada-ism of Tom Ze, and Eno & Cluster. Living / breathing electronic music made beyond the computer screen for bigger screens,
Bummer
could easily soundtrack a remake of
Videodrome
as well as it could a Kubrickian classic." Includes newspaper insert. Covers come in blue, red or green, each with a unique "bummer" word letterpressed on the front.

Title:
Psychic Welfare
Label:

Price:

Catalog #:
RVNGNL 008LP
"
Psychic Welfare
comes after Julian Grefe waded through the cosmic slop that accumulated around him the two years following the release of
Endless
. Grefe alongside Justin 'JG' Geller, forms the central nervous system of a Pink Skull.
Psychic Welfare
was produced by Pink Skull and Jeff Zeigler (Kurt Vile, War On Drugs) between the band's Philadelphia studio and Brooklyn, NY. Contending with the seismic swells in both the macro and micro worlds around him, Grefe refracted the polluted waves in a fantastical fit to write the 13 songs of
Psychic Welfare
. The album is a map of time and space portals in which the listener can navigate from the corroded corners of machinated life to boundless, amorphous space in mere seconds." Packaged in an elaborate poster sleeve; includes download for the full album, plus bonus tracks and remixes.
