Hey Folks!
Welcome to the first release of Debacle's amazing 2014 line up!
Many of you are probably already aware of Francesco De Gallo's work as Hobo Cubes and his tape label Hobo Cult. He has released tapes and CD-Rs with such amazing labels as NNA, Digitalis, Opal Tapes, Deep Tapes, Goldtimers, Bridgetown, Orange Milk....too many to name. So it's with great excitement that we announce his first full length LP on Debacle records
Hobo Cubes - Apex Ideals
With Apex Ideals, Hobo Cubes has found a rich vein of form to explore. Montreal based Francesco De Gallo (also of Hobo Cult Records) is a master of manipulating ambient textures into compositions rife with emotion. Apex Ideals focuses time-based ideas and constructs, finding deeply personal reflections inside its electronic cascades.
Using time-stretching methods to create vast expanses of minimal ambience, Apex Ideals finds some of its greatest strength in glitches and accidents that accentuate the sonic terrain. The beauty is in the details; a cut here and the beating of a heart pours out in synthetic rhythms and deft tonal shifts; a mistake there and liquid synths bubble like blood escaping an open wound. De Gallo puts everything on the table and Apex Ideals ends up being an incredibly introspective record because of it.
Dreams fade into intangible thoughts overridden by external changes and are channeled into an aural dream- scape. Hobo Cubes has climbed many vistas in the past five years but none have reached the heights of Apex Ideals. This is Francesco De Gallo’s masterpiece.
