More Info
‘Man With The Magic Soap’ is the debut album by English (by way of Berlin) duo, Persher. While it may be their debut, Persher was formed by promethean producers Arthur Cayzer (Pariah) and Jamie Roberts (Blawan).
‘Man With The Magic Soap’ balances ferocious immediacy with meticulous sound design. A metal album created by UK techno and ambient visionaries. Cayzer elaborates: “Whilst making the record we tried hard to avoid thinking about how a band, playing in a room, might achieve a certain sound and instead used the instruments as source material in an attempt to produce new and interesting sounds...”
Both artists’ boundaryless solo releases have established them as two of the most inventive and versatile producers in electronic music, extending from chest-rattling rhythm workouts drenched in rumbling low-end to psychotropic soundscapes that blossom from synthesizer pads into tangible atmospheres. Their live collaboration, Karenn, recaptures the punk ethics and energy of early dance music pioneers. Persher channels that same ingenuity and abandon into an exploration of heavier sonics, using electronic synthesis to sculpt sky-clawing riffs and bludgeoning rhythms on their searing debut.
“... most of all it is fun, in a way that only the pursuit of the most ludicrous aural stimulation can be.” - Pitchfork on Blawan
“Cayzer presents his melodies nakedly, with precious few effects applied. This stylistic approach is aided by the pristine production at work here; every rhythmic hit and clapping backbeat sounds crisp and sharp” - Pitchfork on Pariah
