THREE LEGGED RACE - Rope Commercial Vol. 1

Peoples are proud and excited to announce Three Legged Race - Rope Commercial, Vol. 1 EP. The artist's first release for UP and the first in a series of future releases, The EP serves as the follow up to Three Legged Race - Persuasive Barrier LP in 2012. \r\n
\r\n Importantly, Rope Commercial Vol. 1 will be outfitted in a picture-disc of a classic Beatty vision. In a creamy neon-green urban landscape, the face of a humanoid figure is merged with a screen of a smartphone, its consciousness fused to the glass. Dangling from the phone is one leg outfitted in a woman_¢‚Ǩ‚Ѣs heel, presumably its sole means of transport. These kind of pathetic cyborg figures in states of physical flux frequently appear in Beatty's art. They function neatly as windows into Beatty's music as well, with its electronically marred voices and barren sonic spaces. These figures are Beatty's torpid avatars, in his music and art both, their humanism is strained by a confounding digital synergy.
\r\n Aptly, the picture-disc is a perfect setting for Beatty's airbrush work, his favored rendering tool, and the general modus operandi of Beatty's electronic music as Three Legged Race. In all, Beatty renews obsolete materials discarded from a voracious commercial culture, and employs them in strangely poignant contexts." - Underwater Peoples.
