Louis Johnstone is truly a bard of the post-internet era. This one-hour long album was composed for his latest NTS Radio appearance, and sonically it covers all the bases from Lou's musical past - from outsider art/digital folk hero to Dem Hunger warped beat abstractions to musique concrete and spoken word. Trip like no other.

"Possession Centre" is the new album from Louis Johnstone, released under the guise of A Large Sheet Of Muscle. This phone-made abstract record is a collection of 14 musique concrète snippets, twisted monologues and dadaist ambient experimentations that should defy your expectations (or totally confirm them - if you know Lou's previous work). Wicked stuff.

The infamous all-caps noise poet Louis Johnstone aka Wanda Group aka Dem Hunger developed yet another new alias for his twisted sound sculpting. Under the guise A Large Sheet Of Muscle he released "Dracula Completo" in October on vinyl and tape, with help from The Trilogy Tapes. Mutant electronics, musique concrète, anti-folk singing, screwed samples and more are squeezed on this "box of chocolates"-type of release. I've actually quite enjoyed this record, it's more melodic in comparison to some of his more recent albums, and has this Dem Hunger-y lo-fi feel embedded too. Worth giving this one a go.
