CUTS, composer and filmmaker Anthony Tombling Jr, is set to release music from his experimental film EXIST for the first time. This Aprils dual release of EPs EXIST 1 & EXIST 2 on Village Green will precede a debut album on the label. Inspired by a poem by H.P. Lovecraft, EXIST explores night terrors and sleep paralysis. The 40-minute film, described by CUTS as an existential journey into nowhere features narration from cult graphic novelist Alan Moore (Watchmen, V For Vendetta, DC Comics, 2000AD). Since the film was premiered at Dark Outside, the unique 24 hour site specific festival in the Galloway Forest Dark Skies Park, in 2015; the music hasn't been made available until now. CUTS music has been described as diving-bell-deep growls to sky-scraping, synthetic peals by Crack Magazine with The 405 noting clear influences from the powerful build of Mogwai tracks to the My Bloody Valentine-esque use of distortion and distant vocals. On CUTS EP1 released by Invada, The Quietus wrote the buzz and hum of fed-back electronics get underscored by the undoubtedly sinister-feeling creep of industrial percussive mechanisms. EXIST 2' includes the track Bunsen Burner, in original and Redux form, which can be heard on the Ivor Novello winning original soundtrack to Alex Garland's sci fi masterpiece Ex Machina, featuring in the film's memorable climactic final scene. The track also featured in the finale of JJ Abrams cult hit US TV show Person Of Interest. CUTS has performed at ATP, Simple Things, Drill Festival and played with Fuck Buttons, James Holden, Haxan Cloak and Wire. CUTS debut album is set for release later this year on Village Green. 1.
