SMITH, VALERIE - We're Depressed

"Valerie Smith (who's in fact a hairy man from Paris) presents We're Depressed. An album -- dedicated to Mark Beyer -- of intense, drugged and psychotic noise/techno that honors the emotional bleakness and naive beauty of Beyer's world of depression and degradation. Artwork by Hendrik Hegray. Recorded by Hendrik Hegray on 4-track in winter 2017/2018. Mastered by Michel Wiesniewski. Vinyl master & lacquer cut by Frederic Alstadt - Angstrom Studio "This new LP by Hendrik Hegray's Valerie Smith project celebrates his visual and auditive practices in a way that remains as vibrant as a cut out Matisse piece which a loud wind blew out of the window into the dust, where a stray child used it as dental floss." --Dennis Tyfus (Antwerpen, Belgium September 2020)" - Nashazphone .
