From the same recording sessions as Bzier’s first EP on Krperspannung records Negative Velocity, Contraption channels a few moods and scenarios.On the A-side “Contraption” is an insignificant droplet darting through the sky. Soon it joins a disarray of objects positioned above the atmosphere, maneuvers in formation to reveal randomized, decentralized nodes packed for mayhem.On the B-side Bzier shows a slice of his lived experience. Back in 2004 he used to go to house parties around East LA with friends they grew up with every weekend to listen to music. Winding through the Southern Californian roadway sprawl they’d drive 1/2 an hour to 1 hour on the I-10 (sometimes diverting to Route 60 if gridlock is expected) to get to the location, usually in a residential neighborhood. Being respectful of the communities and the struggle of the progenitors of this music, Bzier presents “Blue Halo” as an homage to that sound with a twist: Cumbia-Synth to provide a little sauce for your ears. Dave Easlick joins the milieu to provide a percussive framework for this tune.Lastly, “Bit by an Electric Wire” showcases Easlick’s drumming with an overlay from Bzier. As Dave rips and shreds through his drum kit the OCD machine living inside Yang’s brain switches on and organizes, collates and files that dataset into a hardcore rhythm track.
