CONTRALEPSY by Contrahouse

A faulty synapse between two nerve cells. A glitch. A blip betwixt hemispheres. An immense mystery as to what exactly happens down in it. Some describe a warmth in their ears before a time of non-consciousness. Others we see hit the floor in terrifying muscle spasms. But what goes on in that rift remains mostly unknown. Perhaps in the instantaneousness irregularity of a glitch, there can also be an expansive lush valley where great herds of fantastic beasts run free for all of time. Maybe even a calm that cannot be glimpsed from the outside. A digifried ASMR. Circuitbender déjà vu. Eeeeeeaaa-zzzzz-lizzzzz-niiiiiiin.

And so here we enter what appears to be CONTRAHOUSE once more. Only now it's a pixelated dotted vision that includes new inhabitants: Japanese hyper-abstractionist Prettybwoy whose 2025 album ‘Tokyo Ice Age’ is a brilliant and frigid favorite of our; digi-liquid anarc legend galen tipton whose 2019 song “touch” just happens to be of our time-tested sacred mind spas; the utterly opaque Downhill2k01 who douses hefty dose of acerbic, corroded 9-volt soul into the form; and yung master Andy Loebs whose 2024 album ‘Cercophithecoid’ is like the joyously fried music we’ll hear in 35 years when helpful aliens graciously remove our Neuralink devices. Together, these four create a new Contrahouse. A Contralepsy. An uncanny, shimmering memory blender. You’ve been here before and no you have not. Here's a wooden spoon.
