Side A A1) Misery Is A Communicable Disease Side B B1) VMI B2) Not For Design Following a slew of acclaimed releases on Left Blank and Tri Angle, as well an album with the much-lauded Young Echo collective, Vessel debuts on the burgeoning Liberation Technologies imprint with three diverse cuts of inimitable off-kilter electronics. ‘Misery Is A Communicable Disease’ serves as a euphoric opener, primed for moments of escapism on or off the dancefloor with resonant hats and an exultant synth line laid bare upon a bed of gauzy pads and valve-warmed kicks. VMI is a different beast altogether, channeling the visceral spirit of minimal wave and punk aesthetic to create a sordid call to arms before the frenzied acid and lingering menace of ‘Not For Design’ closes the record in typically deranged fashion.
