Hypotherm Associates - Hypotherm Associates CS

The list of things you can be explodes outwards and inwards simultaneously: you can be employed, you can be unemployed, you can create structure, you can be a Hypotherm Associate. This debut release from HA, consisting of a who’s who of Australian underground players (CIA Debutante, Ghastly Spats, Housewives, Roamin’ Catholics), exists on the left-end of the musical-spectrum. Existential electronics churning and stringed-grinding out of the abyss; akin to a lost release on Tom Ellard’s Terse Tapes or Dogfood Production System (Oceania kinfolk to boot). The soundtrack to today’s moment and onwards.
