Experimental Electronic Music
There really isn’t a slow or uninteresting moment on the LP, because there’s always a surprise hidden somewhere. Said surprises don’t come in the form of meticulous details, rather just with how good f5point6 and Rhombus Index are at subverting expectations.
Zero Eight pulls off a rather satisfying mix of noise, ambient, and experimental electronica. The way the record is constantly shifting into new ideas makes it really engaging from front to back, but so does its claustrophobic atmosphere.
You can hear a lot of pure ambience on See You Someday, however, most of the time it is infused with ambient pop aesthetics, some big string arrangements, and straight up psychedelia.
This LP is as good as current “greatly inspired by classics” IDM gets, because Seph rebrands the dusty futuristic aesthetics of acts like The Black Dog or B12 to turn them into incredibly polished and smooth soundscapes, creating tunes that now sound like they come from 3024 just like the classics did when they came out thirty years ago.
I’m really enamored with how Xylitol always manages to merge these two completely unrelated universes, the almost new age aesthetics with the energy and franticness of the breaks, sometimes to a point where they don’t even merge, rather they seem to be playing separately and turn into a completely overwhelming experience.
A homogenous and well orchestrated performance, making every musician involved a fundamental component, as each adds their own little piece to form a bigger, more satisfying puzzle.
Almost everything about this LP is really engaging and well executed. It nails its details, there’s so much variety in the longer tracks that it’s difficult to feel bored by their repetitive atmosphere or palette, as all the variations or added textures f5point6 displays make these tracks work incredibly well.
Some sort of obscure, magical ritual this is; surely an engaging one, as this Tam Lin LP tries to immediately hypnotize you as it begins. It does succeed, indeed, as you’ll likely be asking yourself what is happening throughout the entire album.
Simple, minimalistic, and incredibly catchy synth-based pop tunes is what you can find in Demons.
Behold! An unknown beast! One that you may be able to spot while taking a walk in the frosty and mysterious soundscapes that Folklore depicts, a good alternative for those who don’t live in snowy areas.
Your Community Hub is a great take on a classic style of electronic music. While it’d be easy to discredit this LP as just rehashed old techniques, the execution is what ultimately sets it apart, so much so that if this style happened to resuscitate in a couple years to come, Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan would be one of the names to hail and remember—and I promise—it’s not that challenging to do so.
