[DEV002] Torn Hawk - Weed Wackers
Released on 29/04/26
Cassette (w/ 2x fold out posters + hand drawn art box)
Elations Recordings’ ‘Deviations’ imprint returns with “Weedwackers” from Torn Hawk, nom de plume of NYC-based artist Luke Wyatt, a trio of cuts in the mould of 2022’s “Toxic Sincerity” and 2024’s “Trustfall”. “Weedwackers” continues a run of decidedly individual work combining deconstructed lo-fi electronica with absurdist spoken word meditations on the self, humanity and sentimentality, exploring parallel worlds and personalities in a way that reflects the fractured qualities of modern life.
A-side and spoken word title track “Weedwackers” is a meandering tale of a down and out Private Eye (“let’s call him Scott”) set to Blue Jam-esque snippets of music and SFX; unreal and mundane, unsettling and absurdly hilarious, an impressionistic window into another world intersecting our own with hints of the paranoiac metaphysical realism of latter era Philip K Dick. The B-side is a sonic expansion of this world - “Dork Armor” like the industrial psychedelic basement sounds of Chrome meets Repo Man’s sci-fi tinged Americana; “Like The Fear Groupie You Are” channelling Alan Vega’s “Deuce Avenue” post-cosmic Rockabilly period through the lense of mid-2000s indie-electronica.
“Weedwackers” comes to us as a double sided cassette, housed in a hand painted box accompanied by two screen printed posters designed by Melbourne based artists James Vinciguerra and Hana Shimada. An artifact of uncertain origins, “nonetheless, there it was. Was this a window into a possibility or something that was actually occurring in this plane of reality? Find out later on.”

ARMA label returns with the long-awaited vinyl release “Second Device” by Sladazj
Luke Wyatt created Sladazj as a place for beat-driven cinematic downshift. These were darker doorways than Torn Hawk could step through. Beyond the arches were Sladazj's favorite landscapes. We're talking hovercrafts buzzing over dark marshes as Zartan the bad guy from GI Joe changes faces and plays cards with the guy who swings the cinder block on the axe handle. Cinders and ashes, axes and unbelievers. 'Second Device' is the second real long-form proving ground for these moves, the second ash pit. Sladazj is the prince of the pit.
RUS: Лейбл ARMA возвращается с долгожданным выпуском пластинки «Second Device» от Sladazj
Люк Уайетт создал Sladazj как пространство для битового кинематографического даунтемпо. Эти врата были темнее, чем те, в которые мог войти Torn Hawk. За арками раскинулись любимые пейзажи Sladazj. Речь о ховеркрафтах, гудящих над тёмными топями, пока Зартан — злодей из «G.I. Joe» — меняет лица и режется в карты с тем мужиком, что раскручивает шлакоблок на топорище. Угли и пепел, топоры и неверные. «Second Device» — второй настоящий полноформатный полигон для этих приёмов, вторая пепельная яма. Sladazj — принц ямы.
