Container feeds Diagonal Vegetation

Ren Schofield is due to release a five-track EP on Oscar Powell and Jamie William’s label. 

Last year we could hardly go a week without praising the movements of Diagonal thanks to stand out releases by NHK yx Koyxen, a Russell Haswell LP and Evol and Blood Music 12″s, with a long-awaited Not Waving LP finally landing this year.  With the label prone to apologising for the slow muster generally emanating from DIY operations, more roll in with Diagonal revealing a Container EP is due to arrive imminently after admitting they’ve been sitting on Ren Schofield’s music for over 12 months.  The London-based label have now honoured the American east-coaster with a five track EP with the following message: “he actually finished this about a year ago but, us being us, it’s taken this long to put an email together.  sorry, ren.” 

Enitled Vegetation, it features all the belligerent electronics you could hope for in a Container EP, with Diagonal describing its sounds as “dance music for noisy minds and feral bodies… This is one for the gurners.”  It follows a third LP Container released on Spectrum Spools last year, which concurrently supplies Schofield with a second release on UK soil following a turn on Liberation Technologies in 2013.  Furthermore, a hyper colour, Mandy Roman produced video for EP track “Insulation” can be viewed below ahead of Vegetation finding a release later this week.
