DEMISE OF LOVE: THE NEW COLLABORATIVE PROJECT FROM DANIEL AVERY, GHOST CULTURE AND WORKING MEN’S CLUB
When three of the most forward-thinking minds in electronic and alternative music collide, the result is bound to be expansive. Demise Of Love is the thrilling new project from Daniel Avery, James Greenwood's Ghost Culture, and Working Men’s Club—a studio collaboration forged from mutual admiration and an unrelenting drive to break new ground. Their EP, Eponymous, is out today via DOMINO.
Born from a shared desire to create something raw, boundary-pushing and deeply emotive, the trio entered the studio with no expectations, only a love for each other’s work and a fearless approach to sound. The result is a heady fusion of industrial dreamscapes, acid house intensity, and starkly beautiful melodies. Shaped by the combined creative forces of the trio’s masterful production and brooding presence, Demise Of Love carves out its own uncompromising space in electronic music.
The four-track EP, mixed by Alan Moulder, has traces of the sounds that have made all three artists so loved, from sky-scraping synths to ultra-catchy choruses, all rendered with shuddering intensity. Yet the record’s four tracks don’t really sound like the music of any of its three individual creators - or indeed like anything else out there. The record’s lyrics, too, share themes that cross over with the group’s production style: dissonant, off kilter and heavy.
Avery calls the trio’s debut EP, “Three distinct sonic personalities coming together to create something new entirely, a search for a burning light that could only exist between the trio.” And he’s right: “Demise of Love” is new; but it is also full of life and feeling, where innovation is employed for the sake of emotion, rather than as an end in itself.
Fans of all three artists will find plenty to love in this EP. But it is the chemistry between Avery, Greenwood and Minsky Sargeant that counts, creating music that is bold yet classy, timeless and quietly beautiful.
