Group Modular - Hecker / Sharon

Retro-futurist duo Group Modular presents the second release in its new 7inch series, powered by Confused Machines and Delights labels. On the new double-sider, Mule Driver and Markey Funk share their fascination with the late 20th century brutalist architecture and explore themes of geometric patterns, urbanistic utopia and its inevitable decay.

"Hecker" is a dreamy yet uplifting short piece. Tirelessly building up in repetitive odd cycles, it portrays an imaginary time-lapse of a modern city's perpetual development and renewal. On the flipside, slow and gentle "Sharon", inspired by the sound of early 80s Bruton library, paints a melancholic and alienated picture of a late-night residential area.
