Detour 006 comes courtesy of SEER, a new Brooklyn-based project from Maroje T and M Parent. Together as SEER, they’ve threaded a needle in between their respective styles and sounds, coming up with something altogether different. Their debut record throws a little bit of everything into the mix: chopped-up breakbeats, post-industrial moods, syrupy mid-tempo electro, and spectral, futuristic synths all feature across its four tracks. Each charts a different path; same-ol’ cookie-cutter techno this record is most certainly not.
“These tracks were recorded in my Queens studio in 2019 after several live performances. Most notably the Microtones party in Ithaca, NY where I had the honor of playing the Forest City Lounge, which is the historic home of the Black Elks, a Black non-profit, fraternal order. I wanted to challenge myself with these performances by limiting the amount of effects I used as well as the amount of equipment, thus these tracks have a lot of space to breathe. These are also my most intricate tracks to date. Instead of tripping tracks out with fancy effects and modules, I instead focused on song structure, with each track telling a story with a beginning, middle, and end.”
The live set also tells an overarching story as well. The main storyline is about a fictitious satanic death cult that worships through sound (“The Frequency”). As they are preparing for their final ascent (/descent?), one of the members starts questioning everything (“Heaven and Hell”). It is seen by the group as a “Regression” and the cult is not happy about it (“I’ll Beat Your Ass / Til The Day That We Die”). The member is confronted and asked “Who Is your God?”
Chem Clubs fourth EP titled Normal Condition by Brooklyn based duo SEER. Melds the atmospheric and distorted into a perfectly twisted mind bender of a release.
Machine Jazz brings you the dystopian sci-fi duo Seer (alter ego and collaboration of M. Parent and Maroje T.). After their incredible debut release on Detour the duo keeps breaking the rules combining broken 808 beats with Hip-hop breaks, gnarly trippy vocals swelling over dissonant synth notes and sprinkles of dark IDM/EBM that brings pure raw energy to the dance-floor making time-space-mind become irrelevant.
