leslie winer - Leslie Winer &c.
**Oversized fold-out poster sleeve with A5 art insert in poly wallet. Edition of 500** The Tapeworm's charming new byproduct The Wormhole follows their tape issue of 'Leslie & That Dead Horse' with another batch of Leslie Winer's prototypical beats dating to the early '90s. The rogue model turned musician is responsible for 'Witch', an unduly overlooked and prescient album first issued in 1990 and later in '94, causing the NME to title her "the grandmother of trip-hop." She's laid low pretty much ever since, save for intermittent appearances with Jon Hassell and Bomb The Bass, and most recently turned up on Carl Michael Von Hausswolff's Ash International with the 'Always Already' EP in 2011. This compilation contains material written, recorded and remastered over the last 20 years and stars among other notables Vincent Gallo and Jah Wobble. Sparse, dub-rooted productions reminding of early Kevin Martin beats frame Leslie's cool-as-hell and slightly androgynous vocals, veering from almost Brenda Ray-like dub-pop to dark and sexy, HTRK-like industrial sleaze and Tricky-like jungle inversions, all with a quietly seething yet measured sort of dark and opulent pop spirit.
