Ron Morelli's debut album 'Spit' is due for release on November 11th. The New Yorker is best known for his tireless work as head of L.I.E.S., the imprint that was crowned RA's favourite label from 2012. He's dabbled in production down the years, most notably as one half of Two Dogs In A House alongside Jason Letkiewicz. Spit sees Morelli stepping out on his own in solo mode. It's the first of three releases he has in the works for Hospital Productions, the label run by Dominick Fernow, AKA Vatican Shadow.
"The music on this record is about immediacy, pressure, monotony and stress," Morelli says. "A great deal of the feelings conveyed within come from the fear and repulsion of basic human interaction....like if someone sitting behind you on the plane sneezes on you or being forced to shake the clammy hand of a stranger and the intimate paranoias of the mind and dealing with it or not. Not to make some deep intellectual fuck show of this, as it is not. It’s just stress music...jammed out quick and recorded." A press release says Spit ranges from "house and industrial tape experiments to saturated metallic beat tracks."
Morelli says the album's title comes from an area he was staying in last year "where all the hookers did their work." He adds: "All they would do is smoke cigarettes, read the paper, talk on their cell phones, and spit. They would spit...a lot. I would step in that hooker spit on the way home, often tracking it into the apartment building as I entered."
