Pierce with Arrow is the project which includes Minimal techno pioneer Troy Pierce joins Colombian audiovisual artist Natalia Escobar aka Poison Arrow. Shatter is their debut album which is out now via Dais Records. According to the press release, it was conceived in reverse: first they created a collection of shadowy surrealist videos, then wrote music inspired by them. This inverted process proved remarkably fruitful. Shatter is a simmering, slow-burn noir odyssey inspired by the Greek myth of Echo and Narcissus, traversing subtle shades of sleepwalker dub, metallic lament, broken beats, and erotic negative space. It’s an effectively unsettling evocation of the legend’s core theme: “There is nothing more complex than a shattered heart, or a heart that can’t love.”
