ERIC COPELAND

Hermaphrodite

(Post Present Medium) Used LP $8.00

“Through bouncy rhythmic loops, sprightly vocal chants, and child-like melodies, Copeland crafts pieces that feel sunny and breezy even at their roughest,” explains Pitchfork about the first solo album by a member of Black Dice. “In that sense Hermaphrodite evokes Gang Gang Dance’s early séances and Animal Collective’s brighter rain dances. But it’s even closer to the wide-eyed art loops of the Residents. As simple and bright as many of these pieces are, none of them scream at you, instead approaching at off-angles and sloping curves.” From 2008
