The Frame (IPU129) is the third single by Joey Casioreleased by , and the second in the International PopUnderground series(following 2009s Debtors Prism(IPU125)).
On this 7-inch, Casio continues to create something wholly new for thisunsteady era. The longtime Olympian, and currentPortlander, reassembles the wired connections of white-hotpunk energy and post-disco electronic dance music. TheFrame finds Casio sharpening his edges rather than justrunning in place: youll hear the calculated combination ofdance and punk forms fused within a neon-lit matrix of percussion, including electronic strings, claps and bells andCasios laconic delivery; a box inside a box. The b-side,Rituals, is a tar pit of sound, pure disenfranchisement,remaining danceable while flirting with chaos.
This is Vol. CXXIXin ‘sInternational Pop Underground Series.
