"North America's best-kept secret of electronica", Tim Hecker was hot on the heels of his debut full-length release for Substractif, "Haunt me", when he issued this EP

"My Love is Rotten to the Core" follows the precedent of musical sabotage, or plunderphonics, established in Hecker's earlier releases. We will not ruin the surprise by mentioning who is at the mercy of this incredibly talented young artist but we can tell you that the outcome is amazing. If you were blown away by the homage to 60's pop by Fennesz, wait until you hear Tim Hecker's take on the 80's Cock Rock phenomenon. Here Hecker has laced together snippets of interviews, concert announcements and the manipulated sounds of the original artist to come up with possibly the most engaging experimental electronica to emerge in some time. Sampled voices unfold while a transformed guitar chord comes tearing from the left to the right speaker before erupting and reshaping itself again.
