The label describes the album as “a document of where musical intersections and dialogue are occurring at a given moment in time…with nods to techno, punk, electro, lo-fi noise, cut-up beats, heavily processed synths, and mournful, elegiac dirges.” They’ll be at the Great American Music Hall with labelmates Pit Er Pat next Monday. 8pm, $25.
