SWILL CHILDREN PRESENTS:

Lucky Dragons - EXISTERS 12” LP

EXISTERS is a 21-minute long mini-album of brand-new songs by lucky dragons, produced in cooperation with artist / designer Jesse Hlebo of Swill Children. EXISTERS resist without intervening, subsist without consuming. They are everything about living except life, showing the effects of attention on a thing over time. EXISTERS harkens to all things slow, delicate, and sharp—music for drifters, onlookers, and aliens of the everyday. Following on 2011’s SHAPE TAPE, which reduced music to pure harmonics—no concern for beginning, end, or time passing—lucky dragons begin the process of re-inserting the organic textures, playfully intricate handmade rhythms and repetitions that characterized their earlier work, such as 2008’s Dream Island Laughing Language or 2006’s Widows. By largely replacing the acoustic instrumentation and field-recorded sources of those records with the crackling pulse of modular synthesizer and alien sharpness of spectral processing, EXISTERS is both the wall and the push against it, a direct impression, a tribute to the boundary and how the boundary can be crossed.
