about

The Chap are back with a new E.P.

In January 2020, they released their seventh album "Digital Technology“. Brooklyn Vegan said it was "gleaming and cool to the touch“, The Quietus found it to be "a colourful and clever basket of musical chops and assured intelligence“ while Clash magazine heard "a dystopian disco feast“.

Inspired by this reaction and soon reduced by you-know-what to zooming rather than
touring, The Chap used digital technology to create some more dystopian disco feasts –
taking "Digital Technology’s“ John-Carpenter-style techno piece "Merch“ as a starting
point.

First they arrive at "Burger Sauce“, where the narrator’s voice resemblemes an axe-
murderer in a melancholy mood, drawing parallels between food poisoning and
interpersonal alienation. Later on, composer and voice improvisor Jennifer Walshe, whose vast body of work includes collabortions with Matmos and the late Tony Conrad, guests on the funky "Biothicks“. From inside a jungle of glitchy samples, Walshe’s virtuoso shrieking duets with a sample of The Chap’s Johannes von Weizsäcker performing the Heimlich manoeuvre on his girlfriend Stephanie Piehl.

Spanning horror soundtrack string techno vibes on "Piggy bank“ as well as sonic
meditations on desk fans ("Fan loop bore death“) and office space ("Office Space“), this
largely instrumental E.P. reveals a different side to The Chap: exploring the sound of
waiting, of simmering frustration, and turning it into something darkly beautiful. The perfect soundtrack while waiting for the next full-blown Chap album (on which work has begun)…
