OUT NOW— the official release of the first full length album by Brooklyn’s very finest ED/MCL in collaboration with soul/sound brothers from Rwanda... Ibisazi Designers Nyabyo! IPR is honoured to be the home of this amazing record and have the opportunity to support the singular vision of these unique artists. Upon first seeing them play on the streets of Brooklyn, we knew this band was something special—bringing together performance art, punk ethos, and urban intervention in a way fully their own. The encounter stood out as a breath of fresh air in a city with increasingly less space for artists doing it on their own terms. We can’t wait to share it with you. Get the digital download or vinyl from bandcamp and stream it now off Spotify ! 🔗 in bio 💓
IPR is excited to announce the video for ED/MCL’s title track and second single off their upcoming EP Mosh will be released online tomorrow- Stay tuned for more info !
Today marks the official release of OPEN UP THE PIT—the first single off MOSH, the upcoming EP by Brooklyn duo ED / MCL and Rwanda based artist collective Ibisazi Designers Nyabyo!
ED/MCL is a masked trash duo based in Brooklyn, NY. They are a cringe egregore of male-dominated genres past: metal, nu-metal, emo, and hardcore. They digest these forms in the Internet age and spit them back out in a heap. Their music is garbage - but like any good dump, there are moments of beauty.
Interference Pattern became the home of this release after Tyler Pope saw ED/MCL performing on the street in Williamsburg.
IPR is excited to announce 'MOSH'-- the upcoming collaborative EP release from Brooklyn duo ED / MCL and Rwanda based artist collective Ibisazi Designers Nyabyo.
On MOSH, which refers to both the title of the EP and its proposed genre (music to mosh to), jungle breaks are slowed down to the tempo of a metalcore breakdown. Super low 808s rumble below the beat. Sampled and recorded sounds are textured to evoke heavy metal guitars. There are rhythmic shouted phrases in a language invented by IDN, crafted into catchy hooks designed for call and response. The vocals heard on MOSH were recorded during a trip ED/MCL made to visit IDN in Kigali.
Stay posted for the release of the first single 'Open Up the Pit', dropping Friday, June 14th
