"The music on Raw Voltage is electronic, warm and full of momentum. Goudron is a modern craftsman of synthesis, structure and song. His music seems choreographed to a film, breaking down, starting up, fluctuating and adhering to rules that make his music sound like no other. His unique 'sound' comes in part from the fact that he modifies a lot of his gear himself; it also comes in part from the fact that he knows his machines inside and out. Goudron is Detroit artist and musician Ron Zakrin. Raw Voltage spans over two years worth of song writing, this album is a selection of the best of the best. Over 30 songs were compiled together to bring you this extraordinary 11 song album. Beginning with the confrontational 'Art School Fuckheads' and ending with the beautifully somber 'Tired', Raw Voltage undulates like an unforgiving tidal wave."

"Goudron is back with his second 12" on Ersatz Audio entitled Civil Symmetry featuring 5 new songs presented in a one-of-a-kind jacket. Civil Symmetry is classic Ersatz Audio, filled with incessant drum machines, rich analog synthesizers and arresting structures. This EP is rich in perpetual tonality shifts with a thick atmosphere of unwavering purpose. Side A starts with the unfailing drive of 'Civil Symmetry' and 'Rumble Queen', ending with the playfully catchy 'All The Chaps'. Side B continues the assertive thrust of Side A with 'Yellow #5' and concludes the record with the horror ballad 'Run' -- a personal favorite of the label. Symphonic strings, complex rhythms, impenetrable layers and effortlessly delivered melodies come together to create the unforgettable sound of Goudron. Civil Symmetry is honest, hard-working and authentic electronic music. With sincerity waning in contemporary music, Goudron is a breath of fresh air. Anticipate restitution."

"Ersatz Audio is proud to deliver the long overdue initial 12" release from Detroit's Goudron. First introduced on the Ersatz Audio compilation Misery Loves Company earlier this year, Goudron now delivers a new 4 song EP of contrived impulses, moving thematically from the harsh to the refined. The 'Horses & Chariots' EP provokes contradictory moods, a perfect reflection of twenty-first century living. Complex rhythms, made from machines customized by Zakrin himself, seem to fall out effortlessly into unique patterns, evenly complimenting the emotionally charged instrumental tracks. 'Horses & Chariots' comes complete with an original Zakrin designed 12" jacket. Goudron's dichotomous compositions, wavering between the warm and the cruel, the calculated and the improvident, fit perfectly askew in the lineage of Ersatz Audio. Programming Spontaneity: Complicating Simplicity."
