A.W.I.P. - Chasing Down Demons

Imagine Dean Blunt trying his hand at vaporwave, AFTA-1 experimenting with dark jazz, or Oneohtrix Point Never exploring hypnagogic beatmaking. "Chasing Down Demons" is all that and more. This trans-Pacific collaboration between Oakland's Trae Casey (aka Poolside Nightmare) and Melbourne's Nicholas Ives (aka NC Ives) finds the duo questioning the rigid boundaries of music theory while injecting a healthy dose of fluidity into their productions. Roll the genre dice and see where they land. An eclectic release for eclectic times. Out now on limited edition cassettes via San Diego label Addendum.
