Aaron Mandel reports: (From Pitchfork) Over the last three years, Scott Herren's fanbase has watched him rise from Warp Records glitch-hop curio to perhaps the most singularly innovative force in electronic music today. This has probably all been kind of weird for Herren, whose records as Prefuse 73, Savath & Savalas, and Delarosa & Asora seem to overflow with the hope that somehow, humans can communicate through all the bullshit. And as he has no doubt noticed, the bullshit only gets deeper when more people want a piece of you. So: We zoom in on our hero, head down, cranking out records with reckless abandon. Herren's website is now dropping hints about three or four projects we can expect within the next year. Probably. Firstly (because we are the most particularly psyched about it), Herren has finished an EP of remixes with New York-based electronic duo The Books, entitled Prefuse 73 Reads The Books. According to the site, The Books sent him "familiar material and improvs," and Herren, wearing his Prefuse 73 hat, fixed it up "so you can bang The Books in your jeep!!!!! CMON!" Tomorrow, we at Pitchfork will all be buying Jeeps expressly for this purpose. Next is a project under the moniker Piano Overlord, which is, according to Herren, "a restraint experiment for my usual onslaught of editing and sample usage." Early in 2005, Chocolate Industries is scheduled to release a Piano Overlord full-length, currently untitled, that deals with political issues. We won't front-- we couldn't figure out exactly which political issues Herren was talking about in his description of the project (Prison overcrowding? Cheap Canadian drugs?), but he's promised to donate his profits to relevant charities, so we don't plan to cast the first stone. Piano Overlord has already released the accurately named Tease EP on 12" vinyl via Money Studies Records, like so: 01 Recuerdas? 02 Walk Home 03 Electric Manatee (Diplo remix) 04 Spring's Arrival (Express Rising remix) |

Regardless of Pitchfork's chronic case of head-up-the-ass, the news is fantastic. |

I dont know "the Books". What does it sound like (similar artists...) ? |

It's pretty hard to describe until you've heard it. I think there's some samples in there somewhere - or at least a discography - the first song on their first album is a good introduction, it's called "enjoy your worries, you may never have them again" - try and find it on slsk or something. |

it's a bloody music webzine not CNN... every arts zine and every critic and probably everyone on this bloody board has probably said something similar at some point and time... try not to let it piss you off... |

Nah man, I know. it's all in good fun. However, Pitchfork has been pissing me off for years with some truly outlandish statements that are totally uninformed and out of line even for a webzine, in my opinion. This just set me off again, my apologies. |
