Wierd Records (USA) / LP
New album by Martial
Canterel entitled You Today. Since his first live performances in 2002, Sean
McBride, aka Martial Canterel (who also performs as half of the duo Xeno &
Oaklander), has produced a rich catalog of self-released and limited edition
LPs, cassettes, and compilation tracks. The carefully crafted, private, raw,
and often feverishly aggressive 'minimal synth' sound he has pioneered has been
a pillar influence for the Brooklyn minimal electronics scene and and beyond. Merging
the influences of the first wave of relatively unknown minimal electronic bands
in northern Europe, and seminal industrial noise bands such as
Throbbing Gristle and SPK, with the smoothly stylish songcraft of early British
New Wave, Martial Canterel records and performs using analogue synthesizers,
sequencers and drum machines exclusively. Thoughtful yet distinctly danceable
and infectious, this record is the apex of McBride's icily idiosyncratic sound.
