ANNE IMHOF / ELIZA DOUGLAS
/ BILLY BULTHEEL – Sex

LP – Black Vinyl
(With Obi Strip and Poster)

Sex was composed during the formation of Imhof’s art show of the same name, previously exhibited at Tate Modern, London, The Art Institute of Chicago and forthcoming at Castello di Rivoli, Italy, this September. Imhof, Douglas and Bultheel, reworked the songs from how they appeared in the exhibition Sex. The result is a compelling record that acts as an imaginative accompaniment to the Sex performances, as well as standing alone as a progressive collection of contemporary compositions. Sex references punk, industrial and grunge, and boldly juxtaposes these forms with music of the classical and baroque period. The album combines classical formals and orchestration with vocals that are rooted in subcultural traditions, thus beautifully overdrawing and overwriting these forms with the composer’s own. Harpsichord and oboe are combined with distorted electric guitar, or exuberant string ensembles with heavy industrial drums.
