Video & Music: Object Collection - 'Look At Television' from 'You Are Under Our Space Control' [SLP054]

You Are Under Our Space Control' is firebrand US group Object Collection’s inimitable Slip return: a utopian space-opera, a homing signal cast into an empty universe, a beacon for an aesthetically radical future.

Drawing on space travel, transhumanism, astronautics and the resurrection of the dead, Kara Feely’s texts rehearse a progressive politics through a total re-envisioning of everyday life. Travis Just’s limber speech-song vocal parts are eerily and spasmodically FX’d, and navigate surprisingly glistening instrumentals - a headlong tangle and squelch of flexing 808s and metal objects, roboticised guitar, and unreal synthesis.

YAUOSC's bubbling force belies its diverse, unruly underpinnings. The opera’s musical backbone is a drum-machine transcription of John Cage's 1951 piano solo 'Music Of Changes', a landmark of indeterminacy; its title grabbed from Cy Roth's sci-fi romp 'Fire Maidens From Outer Space' (1951); its texts inspired by Sun Ra and the Russian Cosmists’ poetics and philosophies, and interviews from real (and imagined) space travellers and astronomers.

Object Collection charge these impulses with a burning, engrossing physicality. This is, above all, an LP of heaving, life-giving music, deep in the mess of futuristic fervour.

'You Are Under Our Space Control' [SLP054] is available from June 13th on LP and download. Mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi. Artwork by Frank Eickhoff. Distributed by Boomkat.
