L.I.E.S. boss Ron Morelli's new LP A Gathering Together out soon on Hospital Productions

You and the family have been planning this for months. A nice sit-down dinner. Everyone’s pitching in, making their specialties. Mom’s on the pot roast, sis on the pie, and Carl — that’s right! even ol’ Carl is coming! — well, he’s on roasted vegetable duty, just like old times. Well, friend, today I’m here to ask you what goes with a nice family gathering better than “stereo-shifting drones,” “driving rhythms,” and “a naked anxiety?” The answer, of course, is nothing. Which is why I plan to tell you about the album whose press release I stole those quotes from in the next paragraph; it’s just what you need to make your party a success!

You see, Ron Morelli, boss man of New York’s L.I.E.S. Records and overseer of a barren wasteland of raw, stripped-down, and granular techno, has just announced a new full-length titled A Gathering Together. In addition to having a title that exactly describes your planned family event, if it’s anything like Periscope Blues or Spit, his 2014 and 2013 releases for Dominick Fernow’s Hospital Productions, then its “feverish deja vu loops,” “brittle noise,” and “scrap metal percussions,” ought to make a perfect complement to the flavor profile of Dad’s casserole. The “fucked rhythms,” of course, call to mind nothing quite as much as the way each and every one of us feel after we’ve enjoyed one or two of little brother sommelier’s delightful wine pairings. And, with its September 24 release date, it’ll be here just in time for you to get in playing before everyone shows up.

Still unconvinced? Take a listen to the album’s title track below, and catch up with Morelli himself as he tours North America through September.
