Elysia Crampton brings 'Demon City' to 787 Windsor
The electonic composder's albums are better thought of as little worlds, each with its own unique logic
Electronic producer Elysia Crampton’s albums are better thought of as little worlds, each with its own unique logic. On last year’s American Drift, her mesmerizing four-song debut, Crampton tied together various styles from skittering trap rhythms to cerebral spoken word mantras. Her genre-defying music serves as a vivid pastiche of varied influences and experiences. Elysia Crampton Presents: Demon City, her latest release, further explores her distinctive use of haunted samples, shifting synthesizers, and 808-inspired percussion. On standout song “Irreducible Horizon,” she threads ominous melodies through glitchy textures, reminiscent of equally singular musicians such as Holly Herndon and Oneohtrix Point Never.
With Babyfather, Dean Blunt, Coco & Clair Clair, and more. $15. 8 p.m. Sat., Sept. 17. 787 Windsor. 787 Windsor St. S.W. 706-540-0206. www.787windsor.com.
