B. Rupp
Vapid Time
Boomkat Product Review:
Benjamin Rupp follows an impressive run of releases on Opal Tapes and Stay Awake! with this murky, downtempo blast of industrial, dubby echoes and smudged beats that's like Demdike Stare, Coil and African Head Charge playing all at once.
There's a moan of tape saturation on 'Vapid Time' that provides each track with a character that immediately links the material to the early '80s, when short-run industrial tapes gave future reissue labels ammunition to keep them afloat in the 2010s. In Rupp's hands this era is channeled through '90s dub experiments and into contemporary beatmusick: tense rhythmic flexes are spiked with distorted vocals and squealing analog echoes. Mucky sizzles and barely discernible vocals flesh out a thudding kick and ring modulated percussion on '2 O'Clock and the Time'; it's dub, just about, but given a leisurely 4/4 that you'd more likely find on an Andy Stott record.
'200036' is even more damaged, its beat mangled into whirrs and pops and every additional sound piped through spiraling feedback. Rupp's music reaches back to the glory days of industrial music, but he avoids the genre's oppressive darkness, choosing instead to bring out a mischievous growl that undergirds his relentless experimentation. On 'Keep Trying', he almost freezes time completely, never letting the beat reach even a crawl, and on 'Don't Damage Our Ears' he mashes a grinding beatbox loop into clouds of euphoric noise. If you've ever wondered what The Fall might sound like if they'd only had access to a broken drum machine, Roland RE-201 Space Echo and a cheap microphone, this is basically it.
