META

Backwards presents a full-length album from the amazing Greek artist, Dead Gum. Meta, Dead Gum's sophomore studio album, constituted a challenge for its maker. While its predecessor Gainer (2014) hollered for awareness and singularity, this one indulges into multi-layered, ambiguous narratives tracing an impossible duality. With abiding influences that distance him from conspicuous contemporary norms, Panagiotis Spoulos creates a nocturnal, desolate sound collage, invoking a meta-purpose for a/the current status quo. The public character of the endeavor is almost jostled by the private-ness of the overall statement; the invitation thus corresponds to a peek into a baffled brain and a rove around gradual levels of muffled alarm calls and grimy smells. Meta is no post-something. Meta merely stands half foot ahead of absolute nothingness, the true end of it all. Edition of 300. - 01. Going Dark From Now On?02. Knowledge?03. Outrun?04.
