Broadcast from this NY electro-cabal with connections to NNCK is a goddamn beauty, with weird mainlined/chanted vocals that sound like Coil's John Balance at his most tranced with the choir of Ya Ho Wha 13 dissolving into the heavens in slow-motion bursts of wildly-modulated vapour. Parts of the piled-up/slowed down vocals sound like a more choral take on The Skaters' epiglottal ecstasies while the level of minimal sci-fi electronics and drum-machine dunt give it the feel of a dosed dub-space re-staging of Sun Ra's thought circa Lanquidity/Disco 3000. In other words, the perfect late-night roller. Recommended.

"Half-recorded in one blizzard, and completed by the next, Alternation is a years-in-the-making, tossed-off-in-a-moment exploration of the difference between EXCEPTER live on stage and EXCEPTER alone at home and the goal to eradicate the distinction between the two. Double the length and twice the depth of past EXCEPTER releases, Alternation is EXCEPTER looking both ways, a geometric expansion around all the territories marked so far in their brief discography: the primal death trips of Ka, the noise pop tropics of Vacation, the long drone goodnight of Throne, the cool electro doom of Self Destruction and the blasted steam cycle of Sunbomber." - Excepter. Double LP in heavy duty, full color gatefold jacket. Vinyl issue of the 5RC CD.

Wonked digital psych from NY’s Excepter, featuring ex-members of NNCK, with a slab of vinyl that plays from the label out: “The 23rd Excepter record: The Late EP. The Black Rust Rush Tour of "High Noon" lore. One track recorded at Oberlin Dionysus Disco, Fall 2009, in I-94 palindrome dub by R/N. One track recorded at 382 Jeff Street by Lala with the TR-808. 2009-2010 edit. Two tracks live on "Presidence Day" at the Glass Lands, February 16th, 2010, by Derek Maxwell, sound engineer. The Late EP returns Excepter to Woodsist. All four tracks are previously unreleased. The Tank Tapes are included as a complimentary bonus digital download with the record. Excepter is New York City's premiere improvisatory, vocal-and-electronics cosmic beat-box band. Whether on stage, on record or on video, Excepter never gives the expected, and this is no exception...” – Woodsist.
