Spekki Webu, introflexive cartographer and antimatter conduit, pares back reality for Seismic’s first entry. Patiently arranging meticulous space, complex parts groan and clatter, hushed by whistling icy cosmic winds rising into intense pensive tension. Gargantuan crystalline components inscribed with strange, detailed petroglyphs whirl in mid air, as the cosmic gale whistles around – the slow walls raise without a sound, trapping space and transporting all inwards to nothing and on.The new mutation of Seismic’s transportive event series into record label is marked with Spekki Webu’s ‘Kept in Reality EP’; collecting shadowy, industrial atmospherics and illbient, Spekki taps the frayed and raw fringes of deep tekno and proto-goa to explore charged rhythmic noise – plotting somewhere between early deep cerebellum strokes for unreal assemblies.creditsreleased November 14, 2023Written, produced and mixed by Spekki WebuMastering by Miloš FedorGraphic design by Ema DoležalováDistribution by One Eye Witness

Following two excellent singles, Jake Robertson finally gets serious with the ALIEN NOSEJOB solo series with this, his debut LP. While those two stuck relatively close to the rock’n’jerk’n’pop that we’ve come to enjoy over the various bands Jake has been a part of, this LP is a whole new beast (alien?). Taking a notable step to the side, off the path, and into the brush, this album sees Robertson flirting with calypso and goofy pop. It rules. We finally have our punk Paraiso, and who better to bring it to us than the man who brought us other Fox Network Specials such as “The Five Fabulous Weeks of the Chevy Chase Show”.Alien Nosejob is Jake Robertson (of Ausmuteants, Hieropants and Frowning Clouds) and the four songs are bedroom recordings, augmented by a full-blown horns section in one instance. Sounds like early Devo on a meth trip with its stuttering guitar and jerky rhythms fitting perfectly.
