Catalog #:	PRESERV 001EP

Hailed by FACT Magazine as one of the 20 most collectible records of 2010! "From the depths of electronic obscurity, we welcome this anonymous release from Chasing Voices. What this record lacks in information it makes up for in relentless, totally uncompromising electronic might, a morbid excursion on the outer limits of repetitive funk and mental sanity. Declaring war on the formulaic banalities of dubstep and stripping away its superfluities, cheap tricks and vapid gimmicks, slowing it down and forcing it into its own self-contemplation, Acidbathory reinterprets the breakbeat in the context of our present day wasteland and executes this vision with disturbing exactitude. Grotesque low-end acidic excretions slope up and down a summit of flawless arrangement, mutating to form a breathing organism of the darkest musical beauty. If the direct and pure expressiveness of punk rock is ever to encroach on the encapsulated world of electronic music, this is a good start."

"Art is created under one of two auspices: glory or truth. Either the creative process is conducted with the intention of gaining status -- cultural, financial, social -- or it is an act of necessity, an imperative born of the constant suffocation of the old world. The affecting despondency of the anonymously disseminated Chasing Voices series confirms this project is more an act of survival than an exercise in cultural luxury. This is self-preservation music forming from the black waters of isolation and loss, the same endless well of unbearable pressure that calls on the hand of creation with a dagger to the throat and demands that the impossibility of living in this truly unreal world be reversed with one miraculous act of materialization. There is no 'artist' in this equation, no ordained or predestined genius operating behind the mystified veil of divined talent, imminent fate or blind luck. This synthesis forms under the very real survival mechanisms of any given will at any given time -- unsupported and defenseless, surrounded on all sides by a total denial of life -- turning the stand-off on its head and using the circuitry of the very technology that collaborated in this denial to deal the monster its deathblow. 'We're surrounded on all sides!' 'Wonderful! Attack from every angle!!' In the end, real art has nothing to do with the glory attained from mass recognition or praise -- the gratification of the zombie-mob of pseudo-cultural legitimacy is the true gravedigger of creative drive. It is simply the act of retaliation against an absolute despotism that dares every human living under its tyranny to render its reality fiction by any means necessary, a phantasm that once haunted us in our sleep but now exists solely in the memory of a beautiful dream that will not recede." One-sided release.

Catalog #:	PRESERV 004EP

"Chasing Voices returns for its 4th installment with an audacious reiteration of the project's uncompromising ethos and technique. 'Valley of the Dry Bones' operates on the peripheries of club music and far-sighted rock mutation, death march-disco for the ever-present sunburn of daily scourges and musical apathy. Prospering from plentiful sentimentally-tinged stabs and a breathtaking, slow-churning progressive disintegration, 'Valley Of the dry Bones' hits intuitively and suddenly, a bent and bruised anthem for problematic times. Despair can be celebrated, and celebration can be despairing---if anything the NYC collective's latest bomb seems to stem from a need to revive the cannibalism of a movement that has grown weary of its own cliches, to dissect itself and hopefully come out the other end better and new... albeit scarred and never quite the same." One-sided release.
