Yes To Fear, Yes To Desire is the second album from Panoptique Electrical AKA Jason Sweeney (Pretty Boy Crossover, Mist & Sea). It follows on from 2008's Let The Darkness At You, an album which garnered significant critical praise and has become one of Sensory Projects' best selling releases outside of Australia.

Celebrating the release of the new album, PANOPTIQUE ELECTRICAL will perform across Australia in August 2009.

Yes To Fear, Yes To Desire is released August 8 through Sensory Projects, distributed by Inertia.

Find Panoptique Electrical live in 2009 and you will experience the extension in the line-up, coming via the addition of Zoë Barry (cello - Ladykillers, Hope Diamond) and Jed Palmer (guitar - Bergerac, Mist & Sea, Hope Diamond), and Tristan Louth-Robins (laptoptronica). The results are expansive depth of sound, the combination of guitar drones, Zoë’s exquisite cello work, and nuances and tones from Louth-Robins, recalling early 4ad outfits The Cocteau Twins and This Mortal Coil and their mesmeric recorded works.

Reviews of Let The Darkness At You:
‘..evokes feelings, an emotional response from me that gives me pleasure. What more can you ask from an album?’ NORMAN RECORDS (UK)

‘This is experiential music, tightly crafted, gentle, warm and beautiful. It's experimental ambient music, the kind of music that elevates the listener and changes everything for the better.’ Bob Baker Fish – INPRESS

‘..something to withdraw into when one thinks of stretching grey coastlines and the clouds of clumber.’ Lawson Fletcher - BEAT

“As a collection Let The Darkness At You succeeds due to it’s emotional connection, hinting at darker urges than previous works whilst proving a strong touch at modern composition and usage of electronic instrumentation.”
Andrew Tuttle – CYCLIC DEFROST

“Consumed in its lightness, “Let The Darkness At You” stands aside from commercial music – It makes you appreciate the work of slow and continuous magma sounds, generated with the blessing of lovers of divergent experiences.” Kronik.com (IT)

FACELESS MUSIC: ALONE & LONELY
One-off Adelaide performance for the Format: DIY Festival 2009.

------------------------------------------------------------

On Tuesday 3 March @ 7pm, Jason Sweeney will be 'performing' an experimental composition of a new work FACELESS MUSIC as part of the Format: DIY Festival 2009 for the Adelaide Fringe.

Between November 2008 to January 2009 Jason Sweeney put a call out for admissions and submissions from a willing public: stories, sounds, noise, anecdotes, nightmares and confessionals about attempts at living a life online. About 40 responses were submitted from all over the world, ranging from texts, sound files/music, micro-films, images, broken CDs, voice recordings and research papers.

From this material Jason created a kind of sonic library of haunting sound collages and imaginary audio documents culminating in a project-in-process called FACELESS MUSIC: ALONE & LONELY.

DATE: Tuesday 3 March
TIME: 7pm
VENUE: Format
ADDRESS: 145 Hindley Street, Adelaide

Free Entry.

Performance duration: 50 minutes.

Presented by UNREASONABLE ADULTS.

Project work, podcasts and downloads are currently online at http://www.faceless-music.net

This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body. Researched, composed and created as part of an Inter-arts Office Self-Initiated Residency at CIA Studios, Perth WA, Australia (November 2008 - January 2009).
