The creative design and musical duo of Josh Clancy and James Brooks, better known as Elite Gymnastics, are the kings of free releases. Last summer’s Real Friends EP was a terrific debut, followed by this year’s equally surreal Neu! ’92, the Minneapolis duo seem perfectly content with giving away their art. Their newest release, a double EP entitled Ruin 1 / Ruin 2, finds the band embracing a darker and more haunting sound than their previous material. Hissing synths, murky vocals, rolling drum machines, Elite Gymnastics continue to make interesting and relavent experimental electronic music, a combination rarely achieved.
