Collaborations reap the raddest rewards when the participants tease out the weirder and wilder geographies of their vibe-map Venn diagram, and for this reason (among others) the meshing of Maria Minerva's alienated pop constructs with LA Vampires' degraded Byronic house births a cool niche catalog of unclassifiable style prototypes, from new wave apocalypto to teutonic club dubs to Harajuku romance anthems, all unified by their tag-teamed sisters-with-voices symbiosis. The album's songs were founded on skrewed LA Vampires beats and tape samples, shaped by Minerva's psycho-echo vocal melodies, further articulated by multi-instrumentalist Nick Crozier-Malkin's synth leads and additional drum programming, before being filtered back through Los Angeles's recordist extraordinaire Brian Foote's masterboard for micro-edits and fine-tuning.
