Watch The Immersive Visuals For Thug Entrancer - 'Death After Life I'

Software's newest signing explores sculpture, death and technology.

'Death After Life I,' taken from Thug Entrancer's debut album Death After Life, is a challenging first listen. The track swells from an immersive first reach, before the machine gun rattle of kicks and snares crescendos to sinister levels, with elements of juke and footwork stamped all over.

As a producer who grew up in Denver's DIY noise scene before relocating to Chicago in 2011, the myriad influences are clear. The move was apparently the catalyst for the album, giving him the seclusion and space to develop his music further; delving into the history of the history of the Chicago music scene as well as "the groundbreaking works being crafted in bedrooms, and blasted on speakers throughout his neighbourhood."

The video takes inspiration from the themes around the creation of Death After Life; an exploration of disconnected-ness, and a journey through a twisted reality. Images of disjointed heads and limbs rack up the sinister and, apt for a release on Software, the label run by the ever-experimental Oneohtrix Point Never, the visuals explore the spatial and temporal dualities of sculpture; how the slightest of movements figure the body in a daunting world of seemingly infallible technology, and the decay of power.

Death After Life will be available on double LP, CD and digital on February 10th through Software.
