“Plaster Falling”<\/strong> was recorded at the same time as John Bender<\/strong>‘s first album, ”\u00a0I Don’t Remember Now \/ I Don’t Want To Talk About It” . Released in 1981 on the artist’s own Record Sluts label, copies of “Plaster Falling<\/strong>‘s” initial pressing came hermetically sealed in plaster (and later latex). Thus, listeners had to literally break open the record to find what’s hidden inside.<\/p>\n

Produced in relative isolation, “Plaster Falling” <\/strong>is a beacon of brilliance in the nascent minimal-wave sphere. Veering towards skeletal urgency, these recordings set bright analogue melodies against half-whispered vocals and expand Bender<\/strong>‘s electronic cryptography thru a series of lone signifiers: “Station,” “Plaster,” “Women,” etc.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0Bender<\/strong> explains in the liner notes, “I began to distance myself from the present and describe scenes as if in a movie \u2013 seeking concrete, terse, juxtaposed imagery.”<\/p>\n

This first-time standalone reissue is recommended for fans of Gareth Williams and Mary Currie’s Flaming Tunes, Minimal Man and Grouper. Pressed on translucent blue vinyl in a limited \/ numbered edition of 1,000 copies.<\/p>\n
