Process of Elimination

Process of Elimination, El Hardwick’s sophomore’s album, explores sickness as a teacher for anti-capitalist modes of being; a rewilding of the self. Out via AD 93, the record is the product of an attempt to be indestructible; this sickness has an unknown diagnosis. The only route to determine the indeterminable is via a process of elimination. Eliminate the noise so it may quieten and make space for listening to what whispers underneath, allowing a return to the present moment. Slowness and queerness as technologies, questions as answers and mysticism as a path to healing when science alone does not suffice.

Lead single ‘Dual’: a track with choral-esq, ethereal ballads and quivering flutes that merge with spoken word ruminations on disability, sickness and the connection between mind and body. The track oscillates tempos, building an epic momentum that harkens to Hardwick's past influences as a club DJ.
