Vereker - Fear Eats The Soul - L.I.E.S.

San Francisco residing UK visual artist come techno producer Oliver Vereker returns to LIES with the final part of two devastating releases for Ron Morelli's towering label. For those not in the know, Vereker was already an established part of the L.I.E.S. family, having co-produced videos for last year's Mutant Beat Dance and Two Dogs In A House releases along with Juan Bocca. Both reflected the grimy L.I.E.S. sound with a grainy, colour-saturated VHS aesthetic which was encapsulated in the throbbing, disintegrating quality of Rosite, Vereker's debut LIES 12" from last month. And it very much continues here with the title track from Fear Eats The Soul scraping away at your senses like The Black Dog at their best. Face down, Vereker goes for the grubby, basement techno approach on "Next" which appears to use a sample of a distant chainsaw as the basis of the bass line whilst "Untitled" is droning, rattling acid techno at its best.
