After one of Fletcher Pratt’s latest sets, Guy from free grind band Tu Sufres (among other bands) commented that he dug all of Pratt’s set, except for the beats, because he doesn’t like beats at all.
“Really?!” said I. “I really enjoyed the beats.”
“Yeah, see, that’s why I don’t like beats,” he quipped. That motherfucker.
Either way, here’s Pratt’s newest release off his Soundcloud account, and, in Guy’s face, it starts with a beat. It, however, isn’t something to dance to–it’s definitely 5/4. Then, as the drums punch away, drones and twinkles entwine the piece until that sure beat speeds up, stays at double speed, and dissolves into a series of glitched-out purgatories.
It’ll be on a limited edition CDR of 50 titled DEATHDUBS on Snapped in Half. You can see Pratt play in his band Kkraakk!! open up for B.C.’s Anha this Friday at Freud’s Bathhouse and Diner.
