SMITH, VALERIE - WE'RE DEPRESSED (LP)

"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. 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."
