about the record
‘Dekalb Works’ is the collaborative project of Austin Peru (Vision Fortune) and Daniel Creahan (Sweat Equity / Alien D). Born out of a shared deep sociological interest of dialects and cultural frameworks, and the effects these have on meaning within modes of speech, the pair delve into the dialects of their own beginnings, mining US/British regional accents and weaving these situational scenes through a textured, intentionally disjointed, handmade soundscape of bass tension and fleeting, glistening melody – adding additional layers of emotion and meaning to everyday observations of language.
‘Duologue’ intends to blur the lines between perceived and constructed reality, occupying a gauzy, dreamlike space shared by the likes of Hype Williams & James Ferraro, where foggy sonars and deep subs provide the backbone to both eccentric and mundane ephemeral flutters of dialect.
The album revels in its variance of linguistic stylings – from the deep US south religious lament of ‘of a’ hovering above an ambience of zither & bells, to the doom laden sax skronk and vocal stutter of ‘with’, to the creeping stripped micro dub of ‘only’ which allows the familiar hue of the British news reader and typical West Midlands dialectical moments to clash – aptly documenting of an impending collision.
