Blanck Mass is releasing a new album on limited edition vinyl.
Mind Killer is an improvised recording by the artist, real name Benjamin John Power, that was captured in April 2020, at the beginning of the COVID-19 lockdown. It was recorded using a core setup based around the Korg VOLCA Series for beats, bass, samples and keys, and plays continuously over 40 minutes.
The only alteration to the original live recording is a slight reduction in length so it could fit onto two sides of vinyl. 1,000 copies will be made available worldwide via Power s own label, Weirding Way, and can be ordered in advance from here.
Leave it to electronica acts Blanck Mass and Mouse on Mars to offer speculative works on artificial intelligence, cyborgs and the future of humanity. Benjamin John Power, half of dance duo Fuck Buttons, records solo as Blanck Mass. His fifth release,
In Ferneaux (Sacred Bones), consists of two 20-minute pieces, âPhase Iâ and âPhase II,â that float from the type of naturalist found sounds favored by jazz artist Jeph Jerman, to wild electronic swooshes, to an apocalypse rant from a drunk San Francisco street prophet. But where his
Animated Violence Mild was a tirade on the police state, this is a sad bemused instrumental sermon addressing life after pandemic.

For a criminal who revealed his agenda in exhaustively detailed black-and-white via his famous essay “Industrial Society and the Future,” published in The Washington Post months ahead of his 1996 capture Ted Kaczynski remains a somewhat unreadable figure. The domestic terrorist better known as the Unabomber killed three people and injured two dozen more in a national bombing campaign aimed at protesting man’s environmental destruction and technological dependence. Yet his manifesto shed little light on who he actually was, or how a mild-mannered math professor
Sharlto Copley plays the Rocky Mountains wilderness recluse who became known to the world as the Unabomber in Tony Stone s unsettlingly intimate true crime thriller.
The underseen but arresting 2016 documentary feature
Peter and the Farm is a warts-and-all portrait of a flinty Vermont loner and his volatile relationship to the land that has consumed him for more than three decades. Its director, Tony Stone, now blurs the line between nonfiction and narrative filmmaking to depict another solitary man inseparable from his natural environment in
Ted K, a piercing psychological probe into the domestic terrorist known as the Unabomber. Played by Sharlto Copley in a febrile performance so wired it s almost uncomfortable to watch, Ted Kaczynski is revealed here in his own words, lifted from 25,000 pages of writing that predates his arrest in 1996.
