"Soundslike is pleased to announce a vinyl edition of The Soft Pink Truth album, Do You Party? Previously available on 2 separate 12"s (SL 03 & 06) they have now been combined as a 12" double-pack with a new catalogue number and new label artwork. This vinyl edition comprises of 8 tracks previously available on the CD version. Do You Party? is a debut album of perverse electro funk from Drew Daniel, one half of San Francisco's Matmos. He is currently on tour with Bjork playing live both as Matmos and as The Soft Pink Truth. This is an album of robotic 80s electro and contemporary production tricks in search of camp humour and anarchistic fun. The Soft Pink Truth's omnivorous samplers graze on an eclectic diet of disco claps, tech house clicks, Linn drum rolls and pirated vocals, digesting the formulaic pap of contemporary pop music in an acid bath of edit-intensive collage funk. Girly R+B divas and gruffly macho Hip-hop MCs are shredded into sound slivers and rewoven into an androgynous leotard that fits all dancefloors equally." Limited stock, deleted item

Label:	TIGERBEAT6 RECORDS
Format:	CD

Catalog #:	MEOW 110CD

"Electronic disco covers of classic punk and hardcore (Crass, Minor Threat, Die Kreuzen, Swell Maps, Angry Samoans, et al). This ten-track 32-minute album sees The Soft Pink Truth's Drew Daniel (one half of San Francisco duo Matmos) returning to his musical roots with a batch of sweetly nostalgic electronic disco covers of classic English punk rock and American hardcore. The beat is turned up loud, nasty guitar riffs come back as fizzly synthesizer zaps, tragedy returns as farce, and sacred truths are ruined. A perverted tryst between punk lyrical nihilism and silly disco froth, Do You Want New Wave or Do You Want the Soft Pink Truth? swings both ways. As a stable control group to aid in the comparative analysis of the divergent ideological positions of English punk rock and American hardcore, the record concludes with an a cappella rendition of the Styne and Robin Broadway showtune 'Looking Back,' previously performed by Carol Channing, a freaky but fitting conclusion to this heartfelt examination of youth culture nostalgia."
