Release Notes:
The profound new album from The Present. Following on from the abstract
masterpiece that was the 'The World I See', The Present return with an
album that delves ever deeper into the human psyche. Like an audio
equivalent of Apocalypse Now, 'The Way We Are' is by turns terrifying
enchanting, hallucinatory and sharply focused. Like a psychedelic power
trio from a mythical dimension, The Present create a music that seems
somehow familiar. Like they've already seen your dreams and your
nightmares. In order to define the music you're about to hear it might
help to list some of the things it is not: it is not a pop album
neither is it a classical or jazz album. It's not an ambient album or a
rock album either but there are elements of all of these within its
dense musical structure. Touchstones include the music of La Monte
Young, Dmitri Shostakovich, Wolfgang Voigt, Cluster, Black Dice, Claude
Debussy, Aphex Twin, Can, Arthur Russell, Boredoms and Brian Eno and
yet it sounds like none of these
What it is: a kaleidoscopic trip influenced by New York City, The
Ocean, Mountains, The Sun and the Trees, Andy Warhol, Yukio Mishima
David Lynch, Friedrich Nietzsche, Buddhist Mantra, Mass Transit, Cats
Birds and life. Life in all its myriad complexity and confusions, in
all it's transcendent beauty and it's horrendous brutality. Their live
show has been described as more of a sensory experience than a mere
matter of listening' and it's the title track, a thirty five minute
epic the like of which has not been heard since the glory days of Popul
Vuh that best captures the bands extraordinary intensity. Once again
this work is a collaboration with the artist Andrew Kuo, whose unique
vision formed the cover of 'The World I See' and whose work provides
the visual counterpoint to The Present's sonic creation. Together they
make a totality that reflects so intensely and so clearly 'The Way We
Are'
The Present are a new band featuring long time Animal Collective
collaborator Rusty Santos (producer of bands such as Born Ruffians and
Panda Bear's seminal album Person Pitch) and Jesse Lee of Gang Gang
Dance (Warp Records).
