Mutating out of the collaborative practice established on STROBE. RIP, Amnesia

Scanner and Freeka Tet are so back with a new dual record project that explores and

explodes norms of music production, songwriting and sonic aesthetics. HOAX is *not*

an album and remix released together, but rather, a singular experience unfolding as

two mirroring, mutually-reinforcing (or perhaps deconstructing) records.

The Amnesia Scanner "AS HOAX" record administers the liquid drip of devastating

ballads, wandering mosh-ups and industrial flood lights that we fiend for. But, as with

every AS record it is impossible to mistake the grunged-out doom for nihilism: there is

simply too much raw emotion, vulnerable narrative and playful experimentation. With

drums and chaos from Freeka on four "ASFT" tracks, AS has delivered perhaps their

most prescient, hopeful and soon-to-be-seminal record of their genre-defining career.
