1645 image 1(12.13.07) Since the turn of the century, IDM as a genre has seemed to be a pissing contest between various sound designers to see who could elicit the most crazy sounds out of their software and glitched-up hardware. This has shifted over the past year, as artists have broken out of this rut and developed their sound saturation skills into quality song writing. Everse, the latest release by EEDL on sp.ARK records, follows this trend. The sounds on Everse follow traditional IDM conventions, with light pads, syncopated glitch rhythms, and sharp leads. Eedl, like many current artists, wrangles what could be boring, machine-like sounds into solid songs that consistently remain engaging. Make no mistake – this record still retains a robotic quality; however, EEDL is able to inject thought-provoking emotive qualities into every track. While Everse doesn’t break any new ground in the field of quirky electronics, it does its best to mature the genre. Standout tracks like “Musli” and “Seeking Too Far” remain stuck in the listeners head, eliciting a calmness and providing introspective journey into sound.

Everse is out now on spa.RK. [Purchase]
