Words Unspoken, Acts Undone

The passing of time... what has been spoken is now unspoken. All that has been has been undone. CW/A present their remarkable debut album, Words Unspoken, Acts Undone. Since their inception CW/A have forged a path through the murky world of electronic music with a number of releases on Vakant, M_REC, and their own Parachute Records. Previously accomplished musicians in their own right, Thomas Feriero (Avatism) and Francesco Leali (Clockwork) joined forces in 2013 to begin a live project that took the act of performance into the club. Shying away from typical setups so prevalent nowadays, CW/A bring to the club a level of live performance that they've now translated into their first full-length. Weighing in at 11 tracks, the album demonstrates the duo's musical heritage of early Warp-style bass but also UK jungle and Downwards-influenced dub techno. This isn't an album that looks back with any misty-eyed nostalgia, though; it respectfully brings it's '90s influences straight into 2015, seamlessly weaving from genre to genre with an up-to-date element to the production. If you're expecting an album of rave breaks or straight-up 4/4, you won't find it here, but if you're ready to leave behind what you've heard already, Words Unspoken, Acts Undone is for you.
