{"product_id":"steve-bates-an-infinite-antenna","title":"Steve Bates - An Infinite Antenna","description":"\u003cp\u003eSteve Bates came up through the anarcho-punk scene of the Canadian Prairies before becoming one of Montréal's most respected sound artists. He founded Winnipeg's Send + Receive festival in 1998, runs his own label The Dim Coast, and with \u003cem\u003eAn Infinite Antenna\u003c\/em\u003e delivers his second solo album for Constellation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe twelve pieces were built from source recordings gathered between 2023 and 2025 during residencies and site-specific installations in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Austria, Greece and Saskatchewan. Bates folds his signal-bending and field-recording sensibility together with leftfield synth work, deconstructed drum machine, pointillist electric guitar and radio static. His punk roots show in the structure: most tracks are short and sharply defined, separated by brief silences, yet the sequencing makes them flow as one continuous piece. Titles like \"Swiss Apartment Layouts\" and \"Lettre d'amour à Fly Pan Am\" hint at the wit running through it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cover was photographed in Sarajevo. An absorbing, restless listen for anyone drawn to the space where noise, ambient and post-hardcore overlap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePressed on 180-gram black vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secretly","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":50518351577250,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5024\/3490\/files\/CST195.jpg?v=1790195232","url":"https:\/\/staticatx.com\/products\/steve-bates-an-infinite-antenna","provider":"Static ATX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
