Hey Colossus - Singularity 07: You Laugh At My Face

Singularity

When we partnered up with our friends at state51, we approached a wishlist of some of our favourite artists with a very simple request: for them to go long for us and to not worry about holding back. We offered all time favourite artists such as Shit And Shine and Matmos and exciting new talents such as Siavash Amini and Alison Cotton total freedom, with just one restraint, the track needed to be above 15 minutes but below 29. We offered them just one word of guidance: ‘transformation’. We wanted these musicians to start in one place but to end up somewhere else entirely, somewhere unexpected, allowing us to fully enjoy their journey. And before long we began to build up a formidable library of brave sonic excursions, brought to us by artists who we trusted to indulge some of their deepest, most hypnotic, most transcendent, magical and problem-solving impulses, and who in turn, trusted us and trusted our attention spans.
- John Doran, The Quietus



Singularity 07: Hey Colossus - You Laugh At My Face


“'You Laugh At My Face' is an almost 22-minute cover of a Patrick Cowley and Jorge Socarras track. [Hey Colossus] make the song their own by utilising an expansive arsenal of dub-like tactics. Accepting a rough-and-ready surprise near the track's conclusion, it is a genuinely gorgeous, psychedelic exploration of the original”
