One of the most exhilarating bands in recent years, Australian band Civic reimagine proto-punk for an era of endless uncertainty. On their new album, Chrome Dipped, they push themselves and their sound even further. The title speaks to a desire to break down barriers. “I like the idea of Chrome Dipped being a mind set. It’s like a casting of your character, or like an outer shell. One of the main objectives for this album was to make a drastic turn in our sound. Break the mold, melt the steel." 

Over four albums, Pachyman has proven himself a dedicated craftsman working in the lineage of dub reggae while mastering the methodology of masters like King Tubby and Scientist, using vintage gear, constructing glorious walls of sound, and developing an intuitive understanding of the power of repetition. With Another Place, he synthesizes the myriad scenes that have recontextualized dub, from the synth-pop of William Onyeabor and Yellow Magic Orchestra to Basic Channel’s amniotic dub techno.
