{"product_id":"mnestic-pressure","title":"Mnestic Pressure","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMnestic Pressure\u003c\/i\u003e is Lee Gamble’s first album since 2014 and his first with Hyperdub, a reset that sees a noticeable change in his sound and the concepts that feed into his music. Lee says \"From \u003ci\u003eDiversions 1994-1996\u003c\/i\u003e (2012) through to \u003ci\u003eKoch\u003c\/i\u003e (2014) - my music felt like I was dealing with signals from elsewhere - signals from the unconscious, sub-aqua, hallucinated, dreamt. \u003ci\u003eMnestic Pressure\u003c\/i\u003e feels like their decoded offspring, a terra interpretation.’ The title \u003ci\u003eMnestic Pressure\u003c\/i\u003e comes from Lee’s thinking about how our contemporary memory is pressured, individually, but also collectively. ‘We live in these strobing, visual times, like a constant subliminal advertisement but, also over the last few years the world seems to have become more and more dreamlike, alien, and parodic itself and there was this part of me that wanted to drag my music back from this Shangri-La, but fully drenched and infected by its ghosts.’ \u003ci\u003eMnestic Pressure\u003c\/i\u003e as a whole is a simulation of this experience; a flow of targeted information, through contrasting and quickly changing terrain, from one track to another you’re dragged into a new space. The pressure to move is intrinsic to the flow of the album, one thing morphologically transforms into another, zooming in and out from wide angle to detail, reshaping into new forms at a speed Lee’s music hasn’t before. The music on \u003ci\u003eMnestic Pressure\u003c\/i\u003e has a hardness, with a structure and melody that was sublimated in Lee’s previous LPs. It builds on his more recent experiments with more functional dancefloor forms. Here his hypermodern production and crunchy, dissembled beats feel like they could be malfunctioning holograms projected onto the hallucinated memories of his early work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hyperdub","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50497638728011,"sku":"1014353","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/f4cb4fca-a350-41a4-8302-08c89a0cfca1_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727729283","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/mnestic-pressure","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
