Starting his career as vocalist of the post-rock/hardcore band "Unhome," and following its 1999 breakup remaining active in the experimental electronic and improvised music scenes through various collaborations with the likes of STEPHEN O'MALLEY, maverick ALEXANDER TUCKER delivers a new work from his main project via the venerable 〈DOWNWARDS〉. From "FOLDED," where beautiful vocals layer over polymetric machine beats, to "VAV," a slab of industrial broken techno showered in hallucinatory choirs, it's a world where aggression and aestheticism coexist. On "SANSU," featuring Japan's own legend PHEW, he unveils cyber-romantic electronics that ascend through a crescendoing arrangement. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
