Russo

New York-based Ari Russo’s debut EP Wild Metals has recently been released on Valcrond Video, the label from Luke Wyatt – aka Crack favourite Torn Hawk. While this release signals a move away from Valcrond Video’s usual output, that has previously comprised only Wyatt’s own work, there’s certainly an affinity between Wyatt’s self- described “video mulch” production and Russo’s fuzzy, web 1.0 video archeology. Lead track Purple Earth comes with its own early computer graphics and bizarre 80s corporate montages while the track itself embodies the gently cascading, not-quite-dance-music sound that encompasses the Torn Hawk formula.
