BLACK DEER 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Allegedly run "by a number of Brians," the Peak Oil Records label emerged in style last year, issuing long players from Strategy and the Personable alias of M. Geddes Gengras. The Los Angeles-based label's dedication to underground strains of US experimental electronics is further demonstrated here with a wonderfully presented collection of Black Deer material from WT Records boss William Burnett. First adopting the name on a release for Rush Hour's No 'Label' series, Burnett's inspiration for Black Deer is the apparent lack of patriotism in contemporary America and it's been some of his most compelling work of recent times. This six track collection is presented as Burnett's debut album as Black Deer and draws you deep into a world of hypnotic, kraut indebted synth explorations and psychedelic box jams and is dominated by the opening sixteen minute track "It's Like the Way It Used to Be".
