5 Track Digital EP
Label - Wrong Revolution Available HERE A Couple of New Tracks came together in pretty quick time in March 2019 and Savvas at KinetiK jumped on board at the beginning of April and getting a fantastic Lathe Cut, square, clear vinyl 7" out for Record Store Day. The quality of these lathe cuts really is superb and, although fairly expensive, they totally deliver the goods aesthetically & sonically.We go deep into David's bass grooves here and also dish up 3 fine and diverse remixes. AkA provide IDM vibes that slam shoulders with Nitzer Ebb, DyLAB, let's a super sleazy acid hypnotize, & David's own Oicho mix strips the original down to it's pulsing core. Well pleased with this collection! |

Label - Wrong Revolution Available HERE It's been a while since Hope+Harrow's last proper release (BLUE ELECTRIC CD LP) but we've been ticking away with various tracks that have cropped up mainly through NEW YORK HAUNTED and we thought it was about time to put them all in one place. The general thread has been Acid, so it seemed only natural that Wrong Acid was the way to go. The collection features our very different approaches in production and shows how this is the basis of a common need to expand and remodel any traditional form until it feels like something new is being created from its elements. |

Back in 1985 David Harrow & myself teamed up to do the first Sufferhead E.P. At the time i'd just released the Leather Hands 12" with Richard H. Kirk & was embarking on several more electronic collaborations. The E.P. was well received both at home & abroad and we had every intention to follow it up. As was often the case at the time independent record companies were run on shoe-string budgets and studio & pressing costs meant that things moved slowly as far as artists who were full of ideas were concerned! - Somehow the follow up just never happened... at least not 'til now, 28 years later. In 2012, via a reconnection through Facebook, David sent me some backing tracks. He had been living in L.A. for a number of years & i was living in Vienna. I liked the tracks but wasn't quite sure how to proceed with them, 28 years is a long time & i had no desire to try and rehash the stylings of 1985. We agreed there was no hurry & we should just wait until the right time and mood arrived. In 2013 i'd moved back to Sheffield after some 10 years away & i guess that provided the right backdrop to review David's tunes.... the politics of 2013 & those of 1985 seemed to have an unpleasant link to me, the veneer was different but the undercurrent was very much the same... we were still waiting for Guy Fawkes to come and burn the the temples of corruption down. (P. Hope)
Nice words from CABARET VOLTAIRE'S Stephen Mallinder > cheers, mate....
> "You can knock them down but they keep getting back up. The two ‘Hs’ back together it seems and going the distance. A history of dub, electrics and menace put to fine effect on the new EP.
At a time of everythingness, it’s all out there and at critical mass, this is hair-on-end collection of tracks. Reigned in but threatening Mr Hope’s voice still makes you check over your shoulder to see what’s creeping up behind, made all the more desperate by rolling arpeggios and crackling beats.
Part swamp electro, part nocturnal drive through wet and desolate streets. I keep checking to see if someone’s slipped something into my pockets. Just how I like it." (Stephen Mallinder.)
