Rhonda Peril Borderman is the sixth full length album from Mamareeko X. Bench. It is due for release sometime in the Spring of 2010.
Background
Following the completion of V: The Meandering Notes of Men in Goats in 2007, and the subsequent EPs that mopped up any leftover tracks and aborted cuts, Bench was unsure how to follow up the most ambitious project he had yet attempted. Initially Bench thought that following the blueprint of epic narrative laid out by Men in Goats was the best way to go, and began work on VV: The Second Life of Fidel Castro. The record, begun on the principle of doing everything on V twice as effectively quickly became too ambitious and bloated and was scrapped. It would eventually re-emerge, re-recorded and caught in a similar sort of endless limbo but now as a non-ISM 'serious' project.
Throughout 2009 Schlock tried to find an angle to return to the Bench project, initially resurrecting the idea of an ISM opera first floated with The 60 Lives and 61 Deaths of Mamareeko X. Bench. This project is ongoing, now titled The Dereliction and Resurrection of Mamareeko X. Bench, but as with VV the similarities to previous works meant progress was slow, with Bench often becoming bored with repeating himself.
In early 2010, whislt off for the christmas hols and routing through old projects, Bench came across the unfinished Rhonda Peril Boarderman EP by weird not very good alias Benzadrine Cock Trio. The 7 track record, consisting of mostly acoustic tracks combined with glitchy percussion failed to see a public release, except for two songs which appeared on the Dark & Moist:Ample Samples compilation. Whilst the music was raw and basically based around two unfunny jokes, the central conceit of the character Rhonda Peril Boarderman seemed to have something to it. So Bench did as any good vulture of ISM would do, stripped the bones of the record for all it was worth and set about creating the new Bench release.
The slightly renamed Rhonda Peril Borderman project has given Bench the oppurtunity to forge a fresh new sound, whilst still keeping to the basic tenants of the PRISM concept he has pursued since Mamareeko S. Bench Vs. The Combined Forces of the Eastern Bloc.
