Total Life - Radiator Total Life

Radiator is the first full-length release on Important Records from Total Life, the solo project of Kevin Doria (Growing). Recorded and mixed at home in the winter of 2012, it buries shifting dynamics beneath layers of distortion. Imagine Éliane Radigue and Kevin Drumm making a record together and you’re somewhere close.

Doria describes the record as inspired by putting his foot down and pushing forward through a fog of loud sound and hazy memories, true love and terminal velocity. He plays an Endangered Audio Research AD4096 analogue delay, modulated with a GRIZLA Gristleizer and pushed through Ampeg amplification as loud as possible, with a little help from Ninkasi Brewing Company IPAs.

Plays at 33 rpm. Intended for high-volume playback.
