BS070 Radio for the Daydreamers - Die! Avant-Garde




"Die! Avant-Garde" is the Third Official record by Radio for the Daydreamers. Aloof and completely detached from the ongoing triptych (Praying for the Be(a)st), this record is breathing space for our minds and concentrates on a different chaotic wile. 
Including collaborations with and remixes from some brilliant artists, this record is dedicated to our fans for their continued support and love.
For those fond of meanings, looking for a story is sometimes as futile as looking for the origin of chaos. It is here and we are a part of it.

released 15 October 2012

BS069 MUTATE - No one in the mirror





Inspired by a comment President Nixon made to his psych, this ep
explores inbetween states - people and places in flux, whether
momentarily, or for lifetimes. This idea extends to some of the
source material used and the process of making this ep, which
I thought may never see the light of day. States change.

BS066 Desposyni - The Radiant Mindfield





A collaboration between Ade Bordicott (MUTATE) and Hyaena Fierling Reich, Desposyni sculpt, collage and maim sound into twisted soundscapes. At times cloying and intense, they deliver Walls of unease at will. Spoken word vistas.

BS065 Zen Nihilistisch - Niemand will aber den Propheten





"… vice et voyage…
viol de temps
vitriol d'espace
une chute par en avant
par en avant
en avant
avant le départ
et pendant presque toute une vie
je suis assuré… de prendre le bon son
LSD des sons
je laisse ma raison à la maison
un univers à la foi
deux vie en même temps
trois esprits unis
quatre routes au même point
cinq risques
six sexes
sept sens
huit couché pour l'infinie
neuf vrais
dix multipliés
… vice et voyage…
… vin d'état subtil
… et croire en tout…
… et croire un peut plus en rien…
je suis si immense et si réel…
que petit prend toute la place du verbe...
