Stacian - “Telephonix”

STACIAN is Person L is Oakland resident, solo artist and academic Dania Luck. Beginning in the American Mid West, Stacian has been an ongoing Bay Area concern since 2008, deeply involved in the minimal wave and underground electronic music scene. A dystopian vision of alienated humanity, broken communications and technoid mal-forms, Person L is her most fully developed full length and a leap forward from 2012’s Songs For Cadets. Moving away from the primitive Cold Wave of previous work, Person L manages to create a bleak dystopia without relying on Ballardian cliche, though still invoking concrete prisons and urban disassociation. Person L is a throbbing, murky underworld that revels in imperfections, a submersive, digital swamp bleeding through the club.

Album: Stacian Live at Treasure Town For her debut single on Moniker, "one-woman Krautrock storm" Stacian (aka synth-sorceress Dania Luck) weaves a wildly fantastical backstory involving a medieval child and his imaginary pet swan, who use synths + drum machines to do battle with repressive forces in a "treacherous valley where fur traders and militia-men reign supreme". This backdrop is hardly requisite for digging into the EP's thick, galactic grooves, but the songs are evocative enough that swan-conjuring hardly seems out of the question.
