These Tears Feel So Eerie is the third release of Vasco Lé. His debut, ‘You Know, Everybody Wanna Say "I Do This, I Do That". Everyone Acts Like They're Hard as Shit. But Just Stop’, was self-released before being reissued on CD with Turva. This was followed by his audio work made for Andre Pipa's 'Instalação 001', ‘In Response to Apathetic Behaviour and the All-Consuming Nature of the Violent Productive City’. Built largely out of samples that Lé has obsessively reworked, These Tears Feel So Eerie layers processed fragments with drum machines & the occasional overdub. There is an intimacy in the way he handles his sonic material & lays bare the cumulative force of contrasting spatio-temporalities. The result is nothing short of a romanticism strung out on the excitements of incongruity. The title is a nod to Mark Fisher, whose knack for smuggling anti-capitalist critique into easy-to-digest examples from everyday life & popular modernism. 'Eerie' refers to something should be there is missing; that feeling of unease that accompanies such a failed presence. For Lé, These tears... carries this sense of absence—that emotional residue that lingers in the gaps. While this project shares a distant kinship with vapourwave's sampledelia—its collage mechanics, blurred & pitched-down disfigurations & all-in-the-red LoFi sheen—Lé's release eschews that nostalgic impulse often present that lineage. More apt is to place Lé's musical dynamism & rhythmic frenzy amongst the language of the PTP crew (Speaker Music / DeForrest Brown Jr., KVU, Saint Abdullah) or the London-school of tricksters (Dean Blunt, Inga Copeland, Klein). These Tears Feel So Eerie is Perf's fifth instalment, & first tape release.
