Introducing Collision/Detection & v1 by Psychological Strategy Board

Front & Follow is delighted to announce our second experimental audio project from Long Division with Remainders (LDWR), following on from the success of ’14 Versions of the same EP’.

LDWR’s second adventure, titled ‘Collision Detection’, sees invited artists submit audio clips into a central pot, which is then distributed around the group and others to do with as they see fit, resulting in a series of digital EPs released across the year and into 2013.

The project will feature new and exclusive releases from Sone Institute, Hong Kong in the 60s, Isnaj Dui, The Doomed Bird of Providence, Kemper Norton, BLK Tag (BLK w/BEAR & Tag Cloud), Psychological Strategy Board (Jonny Mugwump & Time Attendant), The Lord and West Norwood Cassette Library.

Our first EP comes from the mighty Psychological Strategy Board, out 27/02/2012.

Psychological Strategy Board is the work of radio broadcaster, event curator and now record label chief Jonny Mugwump (Exotic Pylon) and painter and musician Paul Snowdon (Time Attendant)

This particular collision took place in their basement lair in the long hours of a grey London morn; this being typical of the pair’s working methods, with the fostering of an incubated intensity. The resultant EP asserts itself through meaty synth sounds, weaving the samples with tones of urgency and a brooding Lynchian menace throughout.

This dug-in approach has also produced their recent excellent mix, Industry, what Industry? for fellow ‘heightened curators’ Pontone and an extraordinary reimagining of the Doomed Bird of Providence’s Fedicia Exine for Front and Follow, entitled Cloud in the shape of Klaus Schulze (live).

More info about them can be found HERE.

To accompany each EP, artwork will be created by Paul Loudon, responsible for the stunning artwork on The Doomed Bird of Providence’s debut album Will Ever Pray.

The second project from Long Division with Remainders will be launched officially soon, with the first release scheduled for the beginning of 2012. Its provisionally titled 'Collision/Detection', and is founded on a desire to explore the mathematics of billiards.

We are delighted to announce that our 14th version is now available, and is by former-Manchester based artist Leyland Kirby, now resident in Berlin.

You may know Leyland Kirby through a range of his other projects - V/VM, The Caretaker and The Stranger. We are delighted to have him on board to be part of this little project.

Here's what he says:

'It's nice to work for Justin and Helen on this as they are good people, and good people involved in music these days are few and far between. I look forward to seeing them both in my old stomping ground of Manchester soon.'
