Smokey Emery is the alias of LA-based experimental producer Daniel Hipólito (and a co-founder of Black Porno Cassette). After a string of releases on cult labels such as Holodeck, Somatic and No Kings, Daniel decided to drop his latest EP on his newly minted imprint Qui Mal. "Licking Blood From A Spoon" sounds like a ritual ambient and dungeon synth crossover, sneakily recorded during a mystical ceremony. "Squealing And Mewling" on the other hand feels trippier, a Twin Peaks-like hypnagogic desert drone piece that will have you nodding along in a trance. The third track "Shaking The Frame" is blocked from streaming at the time of writing, but based on the two cuts above, I'll be ordering this little gem anyway (it's actually released on 3" CDs!). There was a lathe version planned for this release, but I believe it was scrapped.
Cop the CD version here, and stream the two available compositions down below.
