<div><i>Person</i> is the debut from NYC&#8217;s <strong>P.E.</strong>, a band born of the city&#8217;s art-punk underground and dedicated to freaky experimentation. Comprising <strong>Veronica Torres</strong>, <strong>Jonathan Campolo</strong>, and <strong>Benjamin Jaffe</strong> (all of the beloved and freshly defunct <strong>Pill</strong>) alongside <strong>Jonathan Schenke</strong> and <strong>Robert Jones</strong> of the electronic/art-rock favorite <strong>Eaters</strong>, P.E. features some of NYC&#8217;s most notable experimental voices. Early shows were entirely improvisational, allowing the group to develop a collaborative chemistry that led to an equally free-form recording process.</div>
<div></div>
<div>The resulting LP displays the group’s collective experience writing memorable songs, matched with a dedication to tearing them apart at the seams. Recorded at Schenke&#8217;s Studio Windows, <i>Person</i> holds the spark of P.E.&#8217;s early improvisations in its clattering industrial percussion, zigzagging synths and sax, and colorful dystopian poetry. The group&#8217;s natural language results in a sonic lexicon reflecting the unnatural surroundings of their adopted home in NYC—chaotic yet alluring, gnarly, and fun. Sold and packaged with a tender tone, this is music for fully-formed persons aware of their ideological discrepancies. Turn on the human music of the 21st century.</div>
