Exek

Ahead Of Two Thoughts

Melbournes EXEK began as a studio project with frontman Albert Wolski before the 2014 formation of the four-piece line up with Andrew Brocchi (synthesizer), Henry Wilson (bass) and Sam Dixon (drums). With the addition of Nell Grant on saxophone, the groups sound entered another dimension that reveals EXEK to be conjuring the ghosts of PiL, This Heat and Swell Maps. Ahead Of Two Thoughts, EXEKs sophomore release, pushes headlong into haunted, post-punk territories. Opening track "U Mop" pairs sneering vocals with elastic bass and spectral guitars, while the elliptical discourse of "Weight Loss (Henrys Dream)" is accentuated by reverbed drums that would make Martin Hannett proud. Superior Viaducts W.25TH imprint presents Ahead Of Two Thoughts, a never-ending loop of dub-infected textures and anxious lyrics. Mastered by Mikey Young (Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Total Control), this tightly coiled album recorded in 2015-2016 could easily be mistaken for a classic 4AD title from the 80s. Look for EXEK on tour in 2018. Second album by Melbourne band EXEK Mastered by Mikey Young (Eddy Current) Recommended for fans of PiL, This Heat and Swell Maps Comes with download card
