title: anthropology
new album released on grinder, march 2002

sometimes sinister, sometimes innocuous, sometimes contemplative, and often serious... lance grabmiller: anthropology - a brilliant glitch-hop collision between noise and music...

anthropology marks the debut release from lance grabmiller, prolific musical conspirator of the mid-west's dark underground music scene for well over a decade. frequent collaborator & team player, this time grabmiller seizes the reigns of his own musical vision - a vision of strange sounds, off-kilter drums, and somnambulant passages of unnerving silence which bravely push past the edge of the envelope, pulling you along with surprisingly engaging scraps of melody and grace.

not being one to forge ahead entirely alone, grabmiller enlisted the versatile mixing and programming talents of long-time collaborator john bergin to aid in the sculpting of anthropology. grabmiller and bergin incorporate claustrophobic grooves, found sounds, jazz breaks, over-the-top distorted beats, gritty-clicky scratches, tense filmic passages, and audio errata.

grabmiller's anthropology is the freshman release from bergin's own grinder label, the newest imprint to the ever-expanding label collective, underground inc. underground, inc was founded by martin atkins. grinder joins the ranks of invisible records, sleazebox records, divanation, tonezone records, deezal and many, many others - working together to tear things apart!
