- Bio: We are pleased to announce the next single on Transparent, "Solo (4 Claire) / Rot My Brain Away" - by Pittsburgh future-pop artist Christopher Laufman, better known as Wise Blood. The double A side 7" is to be his first physical release following the success of self-released, download-only EP "+". Wise Blood's songs are warped, screwed collages that are both weirdo party jams and finely detailed compositions, Laufman blowing-up tiny sample fragments into bombastic loops that equally reveal touches of R'n'B sass, psychedelic tropicalia and garage-pop snottiness in their hypnotic, sunshine mechanics. The amorous, irreverent "Solo (4 Claire)", the track we're giving away today ahead of the record's November release is a bit of a stylistic departure from the previous EP, trading hip-hop bounce for future-glam stomp, but just serves to prove further the limitless nature of Laufman's ultra-modern, magpie-like scope - re-imagining him as a kind of androgynous, snake-hipped, Bolan-in-space figure, those half-familiar rasping vocals re-contextualised amidst a flurry of dreamy dub and through-the-red noise.
