- Following six years' worth of singles and EPs, the London producer will issue his first full-length in November.
Brassica's debut album, Man Is Deaf, will see release via Civil Music on November 10th.
Michael Anthony Wright's history as Brassica dates back to a 2008 12-inch on Dissident titled Illness From Awareness ?. His sound, which draws from house, new wave, synth music and Italo, was a perfect match for Andy Blake's now-defunct label. Brassica first appeared on London's Civil Music in 2012 with the Temple Fortune EP. He followed that up with last year's Hayat Zor EP, and now he'll return to the label for his first official full-length, Man Is Deaf. Brassica's own vocals appear on three tracks, while Veronica So, Stuart Warwick and Ghostape also chip in with vocals.
"Rather than write with a theme or clear vision in mind, I work with semi-informed but broadly indiscriminate strokes, throwing 'paint' around, observing where it lands," Wright says. "This can take various forms... giving an experimental piece to an MC or an electro beat to a cellist, trying to play an instrument I can't play, or overcoming a lifelong fear by exploring my own voice and lyric-writing ability."
