it's been awhile since i updated this thing.
the recent shows went fairly well. no shows are currently planned. we'd both like to get some out of state shows. if you're interested in seeing lapsed and nonnon live, get in contact with me.
nonnon and i are hard at work on the new joint (5-7 tracks at least half finished). so far, so good. it's going to be a step forward, i think. those who have had a chance to hear some of it live know what i'm talking about. we have some surprises lined up, some emcees, some guest producers, and an awesome remix or two! in fact i've already received a remix of "Hapless Plastic", and it's very nice!
hopefully it'll drop this fall, but no date has been set.

LAPSED :: Lapsed (CD)
Jason Stevens' second outing as Lapsed (and titled just as simply as that -- Lapsed) is a record for headphones and dark winter nights when the skies are empty and there is no company but what you can find in the glitch running through the wires. Stevens breaks down hip-hop for the small, electrical spark which causes those beats to jump in the first place and he touches his fragmentary glitch and breathless ambient music with these stolen sparks, making quivering music filled with organic life.
"De-Constructed Failure" layers a hip-hop hiccup over an ambient wave of sound like Amon Tobin crashing a Robert Rich Sleep Concert. He's the kid over in the corner who didn't bring his own sleeping bag and just will not shut the fuck up. The warm funk of "Hapless Plastic" has been slowed and decompressed into sprawling hip-hop noises like a tape unspooling all over the floor. "My Final Breath" is glitch dub where brittle melodies mate with subterranean percussive noises in an empty cavern filled with wind.
Stevens' dives deep into the dark-hop aesthetic with "Beath to Death," though he breaks it down from the inside (much in the same way that he deconstructs hip-hop) and reveals tiny spaces where delicate melodies grown and fragile percussion makes little eddies with its sound. "Fateless Drift" moans with the miasma of the grave, the sepulchral groan of old ghosts that have been forced to the surface by hard beats as Stevens' turns up on the knobs on the subs and rattles the ancient gravestones.
What makes me lose track of time while listening to this record is the miniscule noises Stevens packs into the songs. "'Till the Break of Dawn" hops along like a small party of nocturnal animals, a growing procession of hopping, squirming, leaping, bouncing animals that each have their own signature sound and, together, make this rollicking piece of road music. The delicate melodies of "Cracked Mirror" create an atmosphere of airy phantoms, and I get lost in all the tiny cracklings and static whispers that creep about underneath the downtempo percussion. If I listened to this record while smoking a blunt, I'd probably forget to breath for being so entranced with the little details. Stevens' second record is even more dynamic and fascinating than his first (Twilight, 2004). Very nice.
