In its ten sonic Polaroids, which are wide and bursting with life, there are cracked clip-hop moments as well as early Skam and Toytronic days of murky electrical flows and brittle lullaby mechanics.
Reviews
Valance Drakes :: Hate Devours Its Host (Amek Collective)
Definitely a planned voyage submerged in hundreds of warped electrical sound fields and swirling auditory debris, this is a mechanical and alien bombardment of the senses.
V/A :: Errormatic Vol.3 (Clean Error)
Clean Error have consistently been at the top of the heap; releasing experimental, glitch, ambient, and abstract IDM as the Errormatic series, which is now on volume 3, reveals an 11-track exploration while also acting as its own unique sphere of influence.
exm :: that little one in the corner (Waxing Crescent)
A massive, constantly expanding, throbbing brain that flickers through roughened Autechrean terrain and breaks up into hundreds of fragments as it passes into the subconscious.
Pentagrams Of Discordia :: Deprogrammed (Pulse State)
Speaking of cults, it’s not wrong to say there’s always been one around a certain Scottish duo, and if you’ve been missing them then I’m pretty sure this lot may have done away with them, drunk their blood and benefitted from the proceedings.
Christophe Bailleau :: Vertical Moon Phase Charm (Mahorka)
All in all a composite, convoluted and plural electronic album dedicated to mysterious, suspenseful and uncanny textures.
Massimo Pupillo :: Our Forgotten Ancestors (Glacial Movements)
This new offering reveals a collection of deeply soothing soundscapes and slippery textures based on sustained and dynamic drones and chords—a thrilling and minimal ambient release of sorrowing introspective solemnity.
pq :: AE–O9 (Adepta Editions)
Baffling beatwork and blissed-out electrical mayhem make for an odd (yet essential) auditory couplet.
