It ranges from the druggy psychedelic electro of <em>Feed My Head<\/em> to the glitchy existential yearning of <em>Body Snatched <\/em>to the punk disco of <em>True Levelers <\/em>and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this EP, the band continues to push further into sonic and genre experiments while finding beauty and even joy hiding in the cracks of the ambient existential dread of these anxious years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Collapsing Scenery straddle the gaps between music, art, film and politics, seamlessly moving between each with the same ease at which they traverse the globe, soaking up experiences and immersing themselves in different cultures.\u00a0Since they formed in 2013 \u201c<em>under a pall of paranoia and disgust\u201d<\/em> they haven\u2019t stopped moving. Recent collaborations include\u00a0Jamaican dancehall\u00a0legend Ninjaman, Beastie Boys producer\/collaborator Money Mark, and no-wave pioneer James Chance.\u00a0The band also has remixes out or on the way from\u00a0Genesis P-Orridge (Psychic TV, Throbbing Gristle), Jennifer Herrema (Royal Trux), Uniform, Youth Code, Brian DeGraw (Gang Gang Dance)\u00a0and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Acid Casual\u2019\u00a0follows the band&#8217;s debut album\u00a0\u2018Stress Positions,\u2019 a glorious collision of futurist electro, glacial goth tones, techno, post-punk and chillwave recorded using analogue electronics: samplers, step sequencers, synths and drum machines. Aesthetically it initially recalls the early pioneering synth-punk of bands such as\u00a0Human League, Screamers\u00a0and\u00a0The Normal,\u00a0when the most forward thinking punks looked to the twenty-first century. Dig deeper however and it reveals an articulate and highly politicized collection that\u2019s far from mired in nostalgia for the recent past. Quite the opposite:\u00a0\u2018Stress Positions\u2019\u00a0is a forward-looking album with strong state-of-the-world lyrical content. In the tradition of so many defining electro duos \u2013 whether\u00a0Suicide, Pet Shop Boys\u00a0or\u00a0Underworld\u00a0\u2013 Collapsing Scenery\u2019s architecture is entirely of their own creation. They\u2019ve built their own world and live in it. The album also features contributions from\u00a0UK grime artist Jammz, award wining Palestinian hip hop group DAM, LA shoegazer Tamaryn\u00a0and several other likeminded collaborators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Collapsing Scenery\u2019s inception can be traced back several years when New York-based artist\/musician\u00a0Don De Vore\u00a0and musician friend and LA resident\u00a0Reggie Debris collaborated in\u00a0programming events with D\u2019agostino and Fiore gallery on the Lower East Side, beginning with a video installation which lead to a month of music and visual programming called \u2018Rebuild Babylon\u2019 which in turn evolved into a traveling residency series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Out of this came Collapsing Scenery, the musical wing of their collaboration. Don De Vore is a mainstay of some of the US\u2019s most exciting and important contemporary bands, having played in\u00a0Ink &amp; Dagger, The Icarus Line, Amazing Baby, Giant Drag, Sick Feeling, and Lilys.\u00a0He also had a stint as curator for\u00a0Brooklyn arts space\u00a0Trans Pecos.\u00a0Joining him on vocals is\u00a0vocalist Reggie Debris, an enigmatic, shamanic stage presence and hyper-literate lyricist of social and political anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While some bands claim to be exponents of the DIY ethic, Collapsing Scenery are entirely self-sufficient, operating outside of traditional avenues. \u201c<em>We\u2019ve tried to mostly play in spaces outside of the usual club circuits,\u201d <\/em>says Debris. \u201c<em>We generally play in basements, warehouses, garages, parks, galleries, living rooms &#8211; and traveling with our own sound-system, power supply and visuals has enabled that. We\u2019re 100% self-contained.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Collapsing Scenery offer a new vision for how a modern band can be. They\u2019re not even a band \u2013 they\u2019re curators of a series of planet-spanning events, expressions, exhibitions, albums, installations, journeys, adventures and parties, all operating outside of the confines of the tired traditional industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/d31hzlhk6di2h5.cloudfront.net\/20220121\/9a\/dd\/be\/57\/020e31eed976c1864a2e4dff_600x600.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"Collapsing Scenery Acid Casual EP cover artwork \"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018<strong>Acid Casual\u2019 track list<\/strong><br>1.
