Blondes follow up their 2010 Touched EP (Merok) with Lover / Hater, a two track 12" inaugurating a three part record series on RVNG exploring duality concepts. Recorded live to 2" tape at Atlantic Sound in Brooklyn, these set staples capture Blondes at their headiest and deadliest. "Lover" places a shamanistic Meredith Monk vocal sample atop a ritualistic rhythm, transporting the track to a trancefloor spirit worlds away. "Hater" builds on cascading keyboard cycles before breaking into an E2-E4-on-the-floor bounce.
