London label Public Information specialise in the eerie and the esoteric.

Since its inception late last year, the imprint has clocked up a short but rich discography of spectral electronica and worthy reissues. Vancouver synth manipulator No UFO’s released his colourful Mind Controls The Flood EP on the label in 2011, and Ekoplekz’s frazzled Dromilly Vale EP arrived earlier this year. Electronics Without Tears, a collection of works by the great early electronic boffin F.C. Judd, is the real peach on the list, a well-curated and revelatory collection of wide-eyed electronic experiments.

The label’s latest release arrives courtesy of Russian double act Love Cult. The pair hail from Petrozavodsk in the Republic of Karelia, and have been putting out spectral electronic releases since 2009. To date, their work has centred around heavily processed guitar work and treated vocals. 2010’s wonderfully evocative Sobaki, volki overlaid vocalist Anya Kuts’ best wolf impression over a bed of feedback. 2011’s expansive Nebulaes tape, meanwhile, falls somewhere between Steve Reich’s exercises in revelatory phasing and Motion Sickness Of Time Travel’s free-floating drone fantasias.

Debut LP Fingers Crossed will feature nine new tracks of  “lonely, strange music” from the pair. The album promises a melange of cribbed television samples, primitive drum programming and oddles of feedback and reverb. Listening to a preview of material from the record, available below, Fingers Crossed is a forbidding but texturally dense listen, primed to appeal to fans of Ben Frost and Demdike Stare alike.

Fingers Crossed is due on November 26 on digital and LP. The vinyl version will be limited to 400 copies.
