The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new video from Lower Tar. Formed in 2016, Lower Tar is the project of Los Angeles-based musician and visual artist, Ori Ofir. He has released albums on Ascetic House, Ecstatic Recordings, and Night Gaunt Recordings, and has collaborated with Silent Servant on a duo project called Sterile Hand. He also co-runs the party/label L.A.U.R.A. as a new avenue that focuses on bringing the Los Angeles electronic community together. As an Israeli-American of Arabic descent, Lower Tar is a project that explores the complex power structures that revolve around identity and what it means to be critical of a society while still maintaining a sense of self.

"Rite It Off" comes off his latest release, “Abstract Parasite”, which also marks the project's debut for DKA. Recorded between 2018-2020, it combines 8 tracks of Ofir’s mix of hard hitting EBM, industrial, and spaced out electro. Inspired by the works of Mark Fisher, each track explores the systems that hold us back while trying to envision a way to rupture this omnipresent hold and cyclical complacency. Directed by Elran Ofir, the video's lo-fi, left field style is the perfect accompaniment to Lower Tar's works.

The release is out now on cassette and digital and you can get yours at: https://dkarecords.bandcamp.com/album/abstract-parasite
