A track-by-track synopsis of J-LOWER’s 90 Seconds To Midnight — “…like temporal echoes, creating a dynamic contrast with steady rhythms.”
Reviews
iNFO :: Mitochondrion EP (Computer Controlled)
Another outstanding example of a go-to EP from a skilled electro artisan with a release-worthy imprint. Strongly recommended.
Defrag :: Lost Worlds (Hymen)
Lost Worlds is a blisteringly vivid amalgamation of apocalyptic sounds and electronics that eventually implode, infused with corrosive and magnetic rhythms.
Music Mondays 004 :: Requiem
With a brief look at some notables along the road, Chang Terhune’s Music Mondays aims to shed light on both new and old(er) music over a wide spectrum of sound (and vision). This week: RIP Geordie Walker of Killing Joke 1957—2023.
Oberman Knocks :: Rhemunvhurse Optikonn EP (Detroit Underground)
With Rhemunvhurse Optikonn, a half-dozen tracks chopped and diced with enough blips and bleeps beauty to last us to the end of the decade, Truswell dives even further into the abyss for Detroit Underground.
Carl Brown :: Time Slip (Mozyk)
A 12-track behemoth that sputters and shimmies its way through video-game electronics and broken breaks (with three remixes by Poborsk, Wagawaga, and The Ghost of 3.13).
Francis Gri & Lilium :: Cycles (Krysalisound)
This album preserves an expressive environmental sound aestheticism, continuously soothing, slightly bitter, but without being too austere.
Jilk :: Found Little Lost (noci miste)
A delicate time-capsule composed of fragile electronics recommended for fans of B. Fleischmann, Ovuca, ISAN, and múm.
