On the heels of the recently released !'', Reality Protest, New York
City's mastermind Gary War delivers a new six song ''#. Recorded
just this summer $%&'&(, Police Water sees War's audio explorations
breaking new ground in electronic prog and pop other-worlds.
These new pieces reveal new experiments in song-approach,
structure, sampling, and tightly synced synthesization. Meanwhile
War delves further into tape manipulation and post-future digital
recording techniques. The overall feel of Police Water vibrates
with post-apocalyptic urgency but ultimately carries the listener
in through the darkness and out into light. This new work spans
War's full emotional range, and never abandons his hopes of a
more enlightened collective consciousness for the future of the
human race. Heavily experimental yet highly accessible and hookladen,
Police Water is the next stage in War's singular and specific
vision of a real future pop music. Gary War will be touring Europe
this fall and recording a live split album in Italy with label mate
Zola Jesus. This winter, War will start working on a follow-up full
length to his critically acclaimed (Wire Mag's #23 album of %&&)),
Horribles Parade.
