Majeure - Apex [Vinyl]

RIYL: Stranger Things, Rush, Zombi, John Carpenter, Tangerine Dream. Fresh off his tours supporting Mogwai and S U R V I V E. The LP format is limited to 1,000 copies, pressed onto audiophile-quality 100% virgin vinyl, and includes a high-quality MP3 download coupon. Majeure returns with a blistering EP of seemingly limitless synth textures and seemingly endless drum fills. Majeure - the solo moniker of Zombi and Contact cofounder, A.E. Paterra - has built a reputation as one of North America's most interesting purveyors of synth-based rock music. Often overlooked is the fact that Paterra is also one of the world's premiere prog-rock drummers, a fact that is emphatically obvious on Apex. Over the course of three songs stretching nearly a half hour in length, Apex is an audacious, exhilarating exercise in maximum minimalism - a disorienting journey between dystopian reality and vintage video game illusion. Also Available From Majeure: Apex (Clear w/ Pink Vinyl) LP, Romance Language LP, Solar Maximum CD / LP, Timespan 2CD, Timespan Remixes LP. Limited edition of 1,000 copies. Recently toured with MOGWAI, S U R V I V E & Grails. Features members of Zombi, Contact. A welcome and exhilarating breath of fresh air.
