HIDE w/ Plack Blague at the Sinkhole

HIDE

HIDE are an electronic / dark industrial duo based in Chicago, made up of fine artist Heather Gabel and percussionist Seth Sher. Together since 2014, the pair create sample based compositions using a combination of self sourced field recordings and various pop culture/media. Releases include 2016s Black Flame EP which is dedicated to the memory of Reyhana Jabbari, a 27 year old Iranian woman who was hung for allegedly killing someone who trying to rape her, and deals with various human rights violations in Iran. HIDEs 2017 debut album Castration Anxiety on Dais Records addresses issues of power dynamics and representation. Seething with textured yet minimal tracks, HIDE gives raw vulnerability an opportunity to unfurl, yielding an album that calls for personal autonomy and the destruction of anything barring the way. A single on Sub-pop for the labels singles club followed, with two unhinged tracks touching on the phenomenon of internalized misogyny and aspects of motherhood.

HIDEs second full length album Hell is Here on Dais (August, 2019) sees the bands evolution pushed even further. The tone is sick and heavy. Using their previously established blueprint of complex drum programming, stomach churning sub bass and aggressive expressive vocals, Gabel and Sher poke and prod at the perception of musical context, and remind the listener that feelings of anxiety, pain, and discomfort are equally as important as those of resolution. Perhaps the strongest tool utilized here is the materials dichotomy between the abrasive and the sterile. Beneath the crushing noisy exterior, sparks the familiar human voice. Divorced from their caustic counterparts Gabels vocals play a decisive role in cementing narrative for the materials uncompromising assault on the senses.

PLACK BLAGUE have been insulting the masses for over a decade now. Consistently over-sexualizing the noise and dance genres, Plack Blague continue to confuse the underground world claiming to be "too punk for punk". Studded jocks, leather jackets, filth ridden hoods, and balls out industrial madness, Plack Blague takes control of each shock of terror. Electronic Blague Music at it's finest!
