Alter

Alter is a London-based music label that was founded in January 2010 by Luke Younger of Helm. With a focus on experimental and avant-garde music, Alter has quickly gained recognition for its unique roster of artists and innovative releases.

As an independent label, Alter prides itself on pushing boundaries and challenging traditional notions of sound. The label's diverse range of artists includes both established musicians and emerging talents, all united by their commitment to artistic exploration.

Distributed in the UK by Cargo Records, Alter continues to make waves in the music industry with its thought-provoking releases. Whether you're a seasoned fan or new to the world of experimental music, Alter offers a captivating listening experience that will leave you inspired and wanting more.

Since 2010, Adam Keith's solo project Cube has been supplying a steady run of records and cassettes that capture songwriter-ly fixations and frustrations in a dextrous style of wounded electronics. Though Cube has been the centrepiece of his activity for some years, he's all the while remained active in collaborations, playing in bands such as SPF and Mansion to name just a few. Rounding off a decade of dialogues and agitations, Alter now presents Keith's third LP under the moniker of Cube, Drug of Choice Based in New York, though managing a functional transience that takes in California too, Keith's latest iteration as Cube launches a panoramic set of sonic touchstones into a gristly and hypnotic orbit. Seismic drum machine parts partition an album that layers industrial-tipped takes on digi-dub with roaming guitar lines, piano vignettes, and breakbeat theatrics. For all the abrasiveness and rhythmic allusions that Keith employs, his use of voices alongside lush manipulations of errant samples and atmospheres tempers the commotion, delivering something that feels as much focused on artful constructions of private experiences as it does the cathartic qualities of noise.
