Description

Beatwife - Cornbrail Acid 2

We present to you the first CD album from Scottish born, LA based, acid connoisseur, Richard Wilson aka

Beatwife, demonstrating his formidable signature style once again in the form of Cornbrail Acid Part 2. Having

recently completed a collaborative album with Henry Collins for Planet Mu under the alias Misty Conditions, and

currently working alongside Sid Wilson of Slipknot as a member of The Miami Vice Sound Crack, Richard takes

the time to expose 16 prime cuts of Electro/Braindance retro-futurism from his personal collection, firmly setting

in stone his inimitable wonk and sparkle.



A snapshot of the current Beatwife story, Cornbrail Acid 2 was constructed at Moonbase Studio over the last few

years whilst living in California. Different threads of a laid-back, 80s aesthetic run throughout the album; from

the jaunty vocoding of Wonder Maker and blood-soaked goth-pop of Shell Suits, to the trashy, unpredictable

flow of Flash Buckle and the all-out feel-good ending of a John Hughes ritesdepassage movie that is Everyone's a

Hero - making it an altogether brighter and catchier experience than other examples of his output



Having been recently selected by the Vestax & Casio corporation to develop sounds for a new line of synthesizer

and mixing products, this album not only serves as a concise insight into Beatwife's musicianship, but also

showcases a range of his prototype devices. His surreal hybrid of retro glitz and hyper-modern chic instills a

sense of elation whilst still reaching comfortably into moodier realms, all-in-all providing a contemporary, and

more widely palatable, take on psychedelic electronic ideals.
