Bedroom drums and friable guitar, minimal and disorienting, like a plaster labyrinth. Compared to Esse Pi Enne's debut LP, \u003cem\u003eChamber music\u003c\/em\u003e, this bristles more, and also opens up more easily. A blurring of the line between post-punk, post-rock, and gonzo turntablism stitched together with short interludes of inexplicable speech—a bizarrely specific English-language education record? An inspired use of text-to-speech? Like every aspect of this record, the pleasure's in not knowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=514358560\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/essepienne.bandcamp.com\/album\/industrial-relations\"\u003eIndustrial Relations by Esse Pi Enne\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFROM THE LABEL:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStrung-out yet precise. Introverted but with something to say. Industrial Relations is a further unraveling of the stories untold left lingering around the Piedmont capital. Cloistered away behind one of Turin’s many crumbling doorways, a basic studio set-up alongside a scattering of found photos and a type-writer forms the backbone of this bureau. Noticeably more barbed than its predecessor Chamber Music, drums are frayed and left to splutter. Grungy guitar chords come in at angles, occasionally spiralling into delay-drenched depths before coming back up for air. The ghosts of 90’s post rock are often summoned and keep close company. Drowsy drum-loops and turntable mischief is a strong nod to the bedsit charms to Crescent (specifically Electronic Sound Construction to these ears at least), whilst Hood’s fuzzy greyscale warmth forms a backdrop for the songier moments. For all its uncanny abstraction though, Industrial Relations is punctuated by moments of unexpected sensitivity and space. Burial is little more than soft nylon strings, a demure vocal and the passing of traffic. Egg Monster unravels to expose a tender character, only just about covered with vinyl crackle whilst Musica Di Guarigione demonstrates a genuine sensitivity and ear for melody. It’s music outside but of it’s time, equally of the past and the present, offering a further insight into the inner-workings of this unique Italian dilettante.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seasonal Work","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44206228734086,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/3874\/2150\/files\/Esse_Pi_Enne_-_Industrial_Relations.jpg?v=1785693362","url":"https:\/\/seasonalworkrecords.com\/products\/esse-pi-enne-industrial-relations","provider":"Seasonal Work","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
