PREMIERE: Lord Tusk – Space Invaders

Apron Records can do no wrong. This year has already seen the imprint champion Prince-indebted newcomer Seven Davis Jr., release one massively sought after Funkineven-does-Hi-NRG-disco Record Store Day 12” and welcome Apron’s own industrial prince St Julien, who recently took the reigns of a particularly eclectic Crackcast. Nestled within St Julien’s own steely EBM and some throwback mind-benders was a track from newcomer Lord Tusk. Tusk’s first release came out last year on Jon Rust’s Levels label, packing squealing, wheezing, chirping machine funk, punchy house textures and darker industrial touches. On Tusk’s latest he delves into ‘industrial rap’ for Apron as sparse, metallic beats carry his own deadpan vocal delivery, warning; “If your breath is ming / Or you’re on a long ting / Don’t enter my periphery”. Noted.

Directed by Hiro Tanaka, who also directed Funkineven’s Roland’s Jam and Dracula videos, watch Lord Tusk’s Space Invaders below and listen out for Brassfoot’s Foxhole at the end. Both coming soon on one 12″ via Apron Records.
