The Present: On Tour with the new album coming
ISTANBUL – The name Rusty Santos would ring a bell in the obscure minds of experimental music diggers. His producing Animal Collective’s Sung Tongs have been long time praised by this new weird noise addicts. As some of you may know; his coming together with Jesse Lee (White Magic / Gang Gang Dance) and Mina formed The Present; another brave act to fill up noise lovers’ players.
Following their debut The World I See; this group of experimental people are to release the second album The Way We Are through Lo Recordings / LOAF.
New album seems to be coming quite promiseful of drone ambiance invaded by the obscure noise. Once again Andrew Kuo signed artwork is implying. Inspired by almost everything dark for your liking that you can imagine of. (This is for the dark types obviously.) Sizzling background sound ambiance of Lynch films to Warhol, Nietzsche; mountains to deep rivers… darker side of life supposedfully coded in between the sinister sounds of The Present.
