SNOG™, a leading global entertainment brand, in association with Metropolis Records and Schmerck Industries, present "Cheerful Hypocrisy' a timely and very constructive message of mindfulness and well-being.
Utilising the sciences of happiness and social optimisation, 'Cheerful Hypocrisy' moves with an energetic swing and makes an enthusiastic contribution to psychosomatic productivity and trans-humanist rationality. Lyrically and musically refined to maximise behavioural economic growth and social capital, 'Cheerful Hypocrisy' lauds calculated hedonism and rewards market-responsible libertarianism through vaudevillian verve and electro-pop precision.
The savvy consumer will also benefit from a stable of thoroughbred reworks and remixes, research guided for aerobic and strategic performance enhancement. Among the renowned corporate partners are Angelspit, Architect and Iszoloscope, with deft statements that range from the dance-floor decimation of Ross Healy's 'Automata Remix', to the minimal tech of The Gnome's 'Patriotic Disco Remix' and the bold existentialism of Cray's 'Samsung Remix'.
Socially aware and performance focussed, you deserve 'Cheerful Hypocrisy'.
Cheerful Hypocrisy and The Clockwork Man are from the album 'Compliance™'
Available October 16th 2015 on Metropolis Records (Met994)
To mark their upcoming debut 7", Ruined Value, Vertical Slump have released a video for the track 'Chanteuse'. With the eponymous heroine of the song the erstwhile Velvet Underground-member and Chelsea Girl Nico, the video recreates Screen Tests, the silent film portraits of the Warhol Superstars created by Warhol and film-maker Gerard Malanga.
In this rendering, however, the location of the 'Factory' is transplanted from Manhattan to Dalston; specifically Power Lunches, the artist-run venue around which the band is centered. As well as depictions of the band themselves, other subjects include members of Sauna Youth, Ravioli Me Away, Frau, Circuit Breaker and Slowcoaches, the staff of Unwork Records and Drag-e-oke sensation Ruby Waters.
The video was made by Vertical Slump's own Simon Marsham in collaboration with photographer Tom Hall. Watch it below...

Body Sculptures (mem. Lust For Youth, Puce Mary, Varg) announce 7' on Posh Isolation
Body Sculptures is a recent collective project of five unique voices in Scandinavian electronic music today, constituting the collaborative efforts of Sweden's Northern Electronics and Posh Isolation.
To categorise the music of Body Sculptures would be a difficult task as the music draws inspiration from many different fields. Terms like techno, synth music, soundscape & Industrial are all fitting whilst they don’t fully capture the project.
One of the strongest apsects of Body Sculptures is that the individual members come from different musical backgrounds and bring very different work methods and sound pallets to the body of work. Erik Enocksson, Jonas ’Varg’ Rönnberg, Frederikke ’Puce Mary’ Hoffmeier, Ossian ’Vit Fana’ Ohlsson & Loke Rahbek recently debuted Body Sculptures at this years Atonal festival in Berlin.
The Base of All Beauty is the Body collects the earliest work of the project, and most of the material on this debut release was recorded by Rönnberg, Rahbek & Ohlsson before the full line up of the band had been established. ”The Base of all Beauty is the Body,” whilst being a beautiful debut of powerful and emotional music, is also a promise of more to come.
The release is presented in two different versions; a two track 7”, and in a limited edition version (Sold out already) that includes another 8 tracks presented on cassette.
The band members:
Jonas Rönnberg, known under his solo moniker Varg, co-owner of Northern Electronics and involvement in the projects Ulwhednar (with Abdulla Rashim) and D.ä.r.f.d.h.s.
Erik Enocksson, renowned Swedish composer who has scored countless independent productions, with recent press accolades for his release for alternative soundtrack to the film 'Apan', on Posh Isolation.
Frederikke Hoffmeier, of industrial and experimental project Puce Mary.
Ossian Ohlsson, of dark industrial outfit Vit Fana
Loke Rahbek, co-owner of the Danish Posh Isolation label and member of Damien Dubrovnik, Croatian Amor, and Lust For Youth.
