Eleven leaven tracks spanning a variety of gritty genre bents has Architects + Heroes‘ second birth in their sampler series put on a display of their multifaceted sound designers. This time around the LA-based global interface of audible abstractions delights the senses with an overall flurry of what the collective is really all about.
Kidd Anthem forages through a delicate pop tune of vocalized electrical luster and piano keys as Neotropic’s eloquent whispering downtempo takes center-stage. Bastian Void shivers around an atmospheric haze while The Koreatown Oddity and Gothic Chollo passes through hip-hop inflected rhythms. Handsomest Drowned Man highlights a rhythmic sheen of post-industrial subtlety and Demon Slayer trickles through IDM’s more experimental beat envelopes. QBLA takes on a Merck Records electronified hip-hop stream of consciousness as Deciptikon-styled melodics emanate from DJ Stephen R’s contribution. Asymmetrical Head manifests a glitchy blur of emotive hypnotism as Kemek’s analogous drone-buzz and percussive revolution brings great fluctuation to the labels more direct downtempo electronic aura.
