mechanismos (2022) CD in clear sleeve with art by DLM
Analog rhythms, microtonal swarms, and feedback tonalities for pagan rituals on Monster Island.
“Where David Lee Myers gets his energy/inspiration from, whether operating as either Myers or his alter ego Arcane Device, is anyone’s guess, but he seems to have both in abundance; his output, vis-a-vis pandemic isolation, has been prodigious to say the least. But what is even more remarkable is the insanely high level of quality control that has cropped up on record after record, and bless his heart ‘cuz the lot of us surely can’t get enough. Mechanismos brings back some of the surly industrialistic scrunge of primo AD days, when his feedback machines regurgitated spastic rhythms and a farrago of oil-slick, rainbow electronics…. Truth be told, nothing fake to see here, kids—just sheer puckish miasma.” - Darren Bergstein, Downtown Music Gallery (NYC)
