The problem I have with electronic music these days is that
most of what I hear sucks. It’s like sexless disco, lazy and inert, with
your proclivity for drug use in direct correlation to your appreciation
of the form. One notable exception is Container, the one-man,
Nintendo-techno freak-out of Ren Schofield. His is a brew of Krautrock
yearning, oppressive bass-booming propulsions and melodic noise.
“Adhesive,” the four-track EP that Schofield released this year on
Liberation Technologies, is my favorite electronic release since
Squarepusher’s 1997 EP “Big Loada,” and every time I put it on, I hear
something new. Container brings the noise to Sediment Arts on Friday,
Aug. 29. Timeghost from Providence, R.I., and Richmond’s own Mutwawa and
Flesh Control open. Doors open at 208 E. Grace St. at 7 p.m. Admission
is a suggested donation of $10-$15. sedimentarts.org.
