WERMONSTER is Nicolas Mercet, a French musician and producer living in Berlin. After a few EPs on the Musica Vermella and Slow Fi Monks imprints, "Ghosts Move Slowly", his startling debut album, is being released by Exotic Pylon Visual artist Mathieu Séry, also a Berlin-based French émigré, is responsible for the visual realisation of the digipak art. "Ghosts Move Slowly" was mastered by Brian Pyle (Ensemble Economique). Predominantly inspired by Hip Hop and saturated in textures from contemporary bass music, Wermonster fuses a widely accessible sound with richly haunted atmospherics - a wide-screen production that is soulfully psychedelic and laced with abstract textures. However, "Ghosts Move Slowly" marks a major development in Nicos compositional and recording processes:.. The result is eerie and beautiful, draped in a uniquely European elegance as a very human narrative seems to play out in the shadows of its 30 plus minutes. But for all its natural beauty, WERMONSTER never loses sight of the machines - beats crack, bass moves seismically, electronic tone delves deep into the bloodstream and Infinite Livez pops up to spit surreal haiku over chipmunk morse code...Produced in WERMONSTER's studio (located in an abandoned swimming pool) between summer and winter 2011, "Ghosts Move Slowly" utilises: Farfisa Matador Organ, Korg poly 800, a Kaossilator, Crumar BitOne Synth, Les Paul Special guitar, Fender Jazzbass, Trace Elliot guitar Amp, a cheap Casio Keyboard, one children's classical guitar, chimes, bells and diverse percussions, a melodica, second hand records, mkII turntable, vestax mixer, SP303 and SP404 samplers, Akai S950 Sampler, microphones, a portable recorder, some FX boxes and a laptop.
