Dark Entries? resident scuzzmasters De-Bons-en-Pierre return with the Card Short of a Full Deck EP, featuring six tracks of their signature sludge. In 2016, Beau Wanzer and Maoupa Mazzochetti fused forces in order to infect the world with their mutant analog strain, a noxious hybrid of 80?s DIY cassette electronics and 90?s Birmingham techno. Card Short of a Full Deck follows 2017?s Crepes EP and 2019?s EP No. 1 and EP No. 2, all released via Dark Entries. Their latest salvo features six tracks composed for a live performance in 2019. While a damaged sense of whimsy has pervaded their previous work, Card Short sees the duo ramping up the absurdity to obscene levels. Skittering rhythms dance over ghoulish basslines and haunting, rave-evocative chords on cuts ?Le R?le du M?le Alpha? and ?Puddle Points?. Elsewhere, like on ?Card Short of a Full Deck? and ?Accidental Surgeries?, contorted vocals battle careening synths amidst post-apocalyptic waste. This deck?s not just short, it?s also full of jokers The sleeve for Card Short of a Full Deck was designed by Eloise Leigh, and features a punk zine xerox aesthetic with playing card motifs.
