Australian noise experimental artist Uboa has joined forced with The Flenser, beginning with a vinyl pressing of Uboa's 2019 album The Origin of My Depression, available April 28.

The Flenser Welcomes Australian Experimental Artist Uboa, Reissues The Origin of My Depression

As described in a press release:

With several tracks that began as live improvisations recorded in the living-room-turned-bedroom of a dilapidated queer sharehouse, and others recorded from live sets in venues, The Origin of My Depression exhibits the spontaneity and ineffability of extreme emotions. Xandra Metcalfe, the mind behind Uboa, offers sonic representations of her anxieties, depressive thoughts, and lived experiences throughout the record’s seven songs, even if the origins of these feelings escape her. The result, intensely and authentically personal, undeniably resonates, as The Origin of My Depression spread through online communities through sheer word of mouth upon its initial release. Now, four years later, the record stands as a defining statement of late 2010s underground music, and it takes just one listen to see why.

The album is available for preorder now and the artist suggests new material will come on The Flenser later this year.
