CACHALOT MIDINETTE RECORDS: C♥M008: Rotor Perdition

C♥M : FEBRUARY 2012

2012 is shaping up to be a very busy and awesome year.

Rotor Perdition's "Home" is a great introduction to his forthcoming 100% shredding third album, "Be That As It May", which will be out in spring.

We're very excited for the third final (final?) Fuck Buddies EP, "Swim", which is great and will be out next month. We will also release a cassette by Italia's fantastic Jaakko! Yay!

Finally, we have been trying to find some kind of leverage to talk Kill! Kill! Death! Death! into stopping stabbing puppies and recording their side of the upcoming split cassette with Rotor Perdition, to no avail. Both will nevertheless play together for the first (and most probably last) time in Dublin this coming March. More news about that world-ending event soon.

Next up:
C♥M009: Fuck Buddies - Swim EP
C♥M012: Rotor Perdition - Be That As It May
C♥M013: Jaakko - tba

Coming later:
C♥M007: m. - Lo-Fi Remote Station

C♥M008: Rotor Perdition - Hard Limits

C♥M008 is Rotor Perdition's fantastic sophomore album, "Hard Limits".

After the noisy hiss hell of "Say It Like It Feels" Rotor Perdition (SD, French, 30) chose to explore the poppier, more melodic potentials of his formula ("keyboard, overdrive and guts" he told us once), perfecting his unique sound while shifting from regrets to remorse. And believe us, it's been a while since "unique" sounded this great.

He told us "Hard Limits" was heavily influenced by his non-ironic viewing of Glee's first season and memories. It's about trying to recapture the bittersweetness of teen age by re-enlivening it and keeping nostalgia at bay. It's an outstanding end of the school year record, an early summer pop monster, full of teenage hopes and dreams.
