La Vampires and Matrix Metals - 'So Unreal'
_
Episode two in season one of the LA Vampires Collab Chronicles finds her joining forces with elusive alien discotech-head Matrix Metals of the nomadic Outer Limits Recordings cabal. Blurry cassette-loop architectures groove and grind under jazzy Casio canopies while Ms. LA Vamps screws it all down, layering in square-wave keyboards, echo FX, drum machine detailing, low-end throbs, and sings lead on a gold spray-painted microphone. The entire LP shares that 'melting-on-the-dashboard’ warped-world tonality of all the choicest Outer Limits tracks, and the fried radio rhythm backing beats coax out a hidden sunbleached drugged pop vocal mode not evident on any of her previous vinyl.
