Vermont's ambitiously prolific weirdo pop enchanter Zach Phillips, aka one half of Blanche Blanche Blanche, is also known for themed releases under alter-ego monikers GDC, Horse Boys, Sord, and Nals Goring. Music for Drawing, out now on Not Not Fun, introduces Phillips' latest false prototype in the form of Bruce Hart-- a "hard-edged lab rat renegade who’s engaged in an ongoing socio-psychological mind-war with nefarious invisible chemical-industro corporations." Music For Drawing's superhero path of saving the world from its self-imposed dystopian nightmare isn't always clear. With "Hartwork," we travel through the steel-trapped doors of his laboratory and witness the scientist-gone-mad at work. Arpeggios bubble from beakers and high frequency organ notes mark the endless pistoning of a cyber-synth-fueled machine.
Wherever it comes from, "Hartwork"'s energy is infectious. Perhaps the electro-industrial Atari-style synths of Bruce Hart's minimal wave manifesto will inspire even the most elite gamers to hang up their controllers, pop the cassette into a boombox, and enter an alternate form of crime-fighting virtual reality against the atrocities of human/chemical waste. --Mary Katherine Youngblood, Visitation Rites
