about

Experimental musicians Benjamin Finger and James Plotkin have reunited to release We Carry the Curse, the follow-up to 2019’s critically acclaimed Pleasure Voltage. The new full-length collaborative album is available on vinyl and digital on October 30 from Roman Numeral Records.
We Carry the Curse darkens and expands the ambient soundscape of Pleasure Voltage, managing to somehow both submerge and heighten its complex melancholic depths.
From the tonal darkness that lurks at the perimeter of album opener “Aspire to Expire,” to the resigned bonds of inherent human despair on “Bound Together,” the album is a forty-minute atmospheric excavation of a soul’s darkness that doesn’t hesitate to let moments of balance and light bleed through the surface. We Carry the Curse is an invitation to an introspective reckoning that will resonate in strikingly individual ways for each listener - within and beyond the boundaries of its compositions.
Benjamin Finger is a composer, electronic music producer, DJ, photographer and film-maker. James Plotkin is an artist, musician, and audio producer/engineer known for his work in bands such as OLD, Khanate, Phantomsmasher, Scorn, and Khlyst.
