Working together as Persher, British techno producers Blawan and Pariah collide industrial, synth punk, and sludge metal. The brief 2022 release Man with the Magic Soap was followed by the heavier, more doom-laden 2024 full-length Sleep Well. Blawan and Pariah are well known throughout the techno world for their solo releases as well as their analog, improvisation-heavy collaboration Karenn, which has been active since 2011. Additionally, the two run the acclaimed experimental techno label Voam. Persher first surfaced in 2022 with the Thrill Jockey-issued Man with the Magic Soap, a volatile industrial metal EP unlike any of the producers' previous work. The even more explosive full-length Sleep Well appeared in 2024. ~ Paul Simpson, Rovi
