The Man With The Magic Soap is the debut album by English duo, by way of Berlin, Persher. While it may be the debut, Persher was formed by Promethean producers Arthur Cayzer (Pariah) and Jamie Roberts (Blawan). The Man With The Magic Soap balances ferocious immediacy with meticulous sound design. A Metal Album created by UK Techno and Ambient visionaries. Cayzer elaborates: "Whilst making the record we tried hard to avoid thinking about how a band, playing in a room, might achieve a certain sound and instead used the instruments as source material in an attempt to produce new and interesting sounds..." oh, and the sounds are interesting and HEAVY! Recording in Roberts" studio at Funkhaus, the home of the former East German state-owned radio station, Cayzer would improvise long takes on guitar and bass, contorted and mutated by Roberts using his extensive modular setup to add weight and texture. This primordial ooze of raw sonics was then chopped up and reassembled by the duo into bristling hooks and corrosive atmospheres. Originally bonding over their love of heavy music when they first met in 2009, The Man With The Magic Soap foregrounds those aesthetic influences that have always lurked in the shadows of their music, distilling decades of immersion in punk and hardcore into a record that gleefully shirks categorization. Their debut draws distinct parallels between seemingly disparate genres, using electronic synthesis to harness a wild sonic adventurism informed by punk"s ethos. Through their application of their electronic music processes in a wildly different context Persher finds liberation, joy and caustic release in bleak sonics which side-step perceived genre constraints and carve out a unique space from the group"s inception. Both artists" boundaryless solo releases have established them as two of the most inventive and versatile producers in electronic music, extending from chest-rattling rhythm workouts drenched in rumbling low-end to psychotropic soundscapes that blossom from synthesizer pads into tangible atmospheres. Their live collaboration Karenn recaptures the punk ethics and energy of early dance music pioneers. Persher channels that same ingenuity and abandon into an exploration of heavier sonics, using electronic synthesis to sculpt sky-clawing riffs and bludgeoning rhythms on their searing debut.
