VOTIVE ZERO

Formed in opposition to the media identity schizophrenia of the present, Thought?Broadcast thrive upon the post-punk tactics of forgery and radical anonymity.?Votive Zero is the second release on Editions Mego from this mysteriously coded?American outfit. Emerging from the U.S. noise/punk background, Thought?Broadcast further trace a unique path with nine carefully-considered obfuscations?of rhythm and blurred takes on expressionism. Utilizing minimalist spaces, rhythmic?repetition and material textures, Votive Zero navigates psycho-geometries while?bathing in a lost, dubplate-style fidelity. Within this construction, past and present?are unified as a hazily paranoid exploration of electronic music's nebulous grey?zone. From the damaged mystery of 07/13/2013 to the smeared beats of?Carving a Vow and Morse code mantra of Runaway Signal, this ambiguous?release treads a subtle and suspicious path where secrets once hidden are?revealed on further, deeper listens. Votive Zero is a sustained journey through raw,?hand-rendered minimal electronics which advance the cause and effect of Thought?Broadcast's strategic occurrences.
