Philadelphia’s Power Animal have just released Exorcism via Human Kindness Overflowing and Crash Symbols. This LP is experimental pop at its finest. Samples are destroyed then stitched and expanded into glory with Keith Hampson graciously crooning in between them. It’s hard to believe this was entirely recorded in Keith’s bedroom:
“This album was created over the course of 10 or so months where I was in and out of the hospital with various illnesses. The palette for the production of this album was a result of being too fatigued to get up and play my instruments most of the time. I had a cassette player that could play in reverse into my sampler, and a big box of cassettes that I’d found at thrift stores over the years. So I arranged a good deal of this album while laying in bed with an Sp-404. “
This is an album to hear and own. The B-side has remixes from Lushlife, Botany, Spirituals, and Golden Ages. You can purchase it on cassette via Crash Symbols or pay what you want for it via Human Kindness Overflowing (For every $2 that you pay for this album, $1.50 will provide 3 meals for those in need through Philabundance while the other 50 cents will go toward funding future charitable projects with Human Kindness Overflowing). Check out the title track and the Spirituals remix of it right here:
