about

A dreamy metamorphic collage of ambient breaks; In the way the sleek flip-phone exterior concealed the dial-up fidelity within, Inoculated Against Liminality's glossy synths envelop crunchy breakbeats and disintegrating pads. As the title suggests, Monitor Glow shapeshifts across 'Liminality' with ease through zones of memory: vague remnants of the 16-bit era, CD-Roms left roadside, dusty grey cartridges in moldy cardboard. The objective of traversing this territory is best encapsulated by the Pynchon quote emblazoned across the inside of the J-card: "The nostalgia you feel is not your own, but it's potent." By using the fleeting and liminal as a foundation, like the faceless figure on the cover, bathing in it, oversaturated to the point of immunity, Monitor Glow nimbly sidesteps the trappings of recursive nostalgia, claiming these transitory states as home.

"in each age arise unlikely tongues which nonetheless may help us: the gods of the body’s warm organs may show themselves now not through a burning bush or a martyr’s funny bone on fire or in the mysteries of appetite, but along intangible electronic canals where slippery loops joining pancreas and lung, bowel and eye, become, for the sake of a diagram’s current, straight lines and right-angle transits, and clarity’s pulse waits for the gate which if open may flip whole futures of gates drawing that pulse like a spasm of the greater body through gods who blink and gods who do not blink until at some crux near the analogic cog or digital core a twinge of harmony is heard like someone else’s pain."
-Joseph McElroy, Lookout Cartridge (1974)
