Bleep

Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary’s mighty, bass weighted range as Modeselektor has, since their first work together way back when, always been perfectly suited to Sascha Ring aka Apparat’s, slight and particular take on pop. Though this has never been more apparent than on the opening track of III, ‘Eating Hooks’. On an accented, brilliantly simple beat track, perfectly punctuated by LFO bass and guitar fuzz, Ring’s pensive harmonics decipher the internal politics of addiction in ways only true poets know how. Long-time Monkeytown affiliate Siriusmo provides a remix, edited by Solomun, as does Night Drps and the live version of the track is added for good measure.
