FOOM 005EP
|
Bruno Pronsato debuted his Archangel project in 2014 with The Bedroom Slant (FOOM 002CD/LP). This remix EP opens the previously unreleased "Blue Eyes Blind/This Romance." Dean Blunt follows with a ten-minute, automated, spoken-word rework of "Julia." For his first-ever remix, New York Downtown scene figurehead Peter Gordon enriches the intricate percussive patterns of "Half-Man Half-Lisa" with his playful rhythms and restless melodies. Cellist, producer, and Southbank Centre Artist in Residence Oliver Coates (who has collaborated with Jonny Greenwood, Mira Calix, and Micachu) rearranges the synthesized melody of "L.A. Teen (Live)" for cello and reconstructs the percussion to fit his vision.

FOOM 001EP
|
"My pop-historical spirit animal, so to speak, has always been Gary Numan in this snapshot of studio toil. I still feel that the sleek, mechanical sex appeal of 'Metal' is seductive, so, for the A-side, I decided to take the basics from Numan's track (bass line, synth) and transform them into my darker, drone driven style... the B-side, 'Momentum of the Farce,' strikes a different chord... While making it, I imagined myself playing live to 20 people -- the 20 people who appreciate a sunrise at the party but simultaneously enjoy the thought of going home." --Archangel (Bruno Pronsato)

FOOM 002LP
|
Gatefold double LP version. Bruno Pronsato, one of electronic music's most vital and innovative producers, presents The Bedroom Slant, the first full-length release under his new Archangel moniker. This new chapter follows "Since We Last Met" (2010), his shimmering and haunting collaboration as ndf with Sergio Giorgini of Benoit & Sergio, which Pitchfork and Resident Advisor hailed and DFA chose to close its 2010 Compilation; and Lovers Do (SONG 006CD, 2011), Pronsato's third album, which Resident Advisor rated at 4.5 out of 5 and Pitchfork rated at 8.1, lauding the work as "a striking and massive statement." Pronsato has also released on Perlon as Half Hawaii, his collaboration with Sammy Dee; on Telegraph as Public Lover, his collaboration with Ninca Leece; and on Hello? Repeat as Others, his collaboration with Daze Maxim. Archangel is a significant new chapter in the evolution of Pronsato's signature electronic sound. The human voice acts as one of its major elements, as Pronsato steps up to the mic to take on vocal duties, and it incorporates traditional instrumentation to a larger degree than his previous work, with his brother David Ford's bass guitar lines forming the rhythmic foundation for many of the new songs. Acknowledging his long-held love, fostered by radio, of pop, rock, and post-punk in his music for the first time, Pronsato filters his experimentalism through his formative romance with the airwaves. Pronsato is known for creating remarkably fresh and strange music from his influences, unrecognizable when compared to its inspiration. He wrote, produced, recorded, and mixed The Bedroom Slant during early morning sessions in the Prenzlauer Berg studio he shares with Benoit & Sergio. The album features collaborations with downtown scene multi-instrumentalist Peter Gordon (Love of Life Orchestra), Randy Jones aka Caro (co-founder of Orac Records), bassist Yonatan Levi (The Jimmy Cobb Quartet), and Chicago-based composer and pianist David A. Powers. Artwork by UK-based artist Marilyn Thompson. Mastered by Mike Grinser at Manmade Mastering, Berlin.
