CRT delivers a surreal storm-surging soundtrack that breaks through with fragmented synthesis and industrial techno juxtaposition.
Reviews
Fennesz :: Mosaic (Touch)
Mosaic is yet another valid addition to Fennesz’s already spotless catalog. Among the many ambient records I’ve heard this year, Fennesz thankfully reminds us of what ambient music can be when it is done in an original way, rather than offering the usual pulp of clean synth pads with some string arrangements.
Bad Sector :: Yela (Les Nouvelles Propagandes)
If you are fond of dystopian electronic coldness of Omit, Franck Riggio, Kcin, Philip Munch and some Lustmord (for the rumbling,) uncanny moody-esque textures, and eerily fixated atmospheres, you won’t be disappointed.
V/A :: Sun Series AE/SS-01 (Adepta Editions)
Predominantly locked in expressive braindance acrobatics, Adepta Editions spawns Sun Series SS-01 on limited edition 12″ white vinyl.
Poborsk :: Headset and Settings (Point Source Electronic Arts)
Poborsk succinctly produces an impactful release that only seeks to compliment Point Source Electronic Arts’ already creative audio-visual community.
subtractiveLAD :: Unspoken (Self Released)
Unspoken is “performance-based, with no click, no grid, just playing,” as stated in the liner notes. Featuring granular and raw construction permeating distinctive synth swells, Unspoken flows through like a forgotten soundtrack to our soul.
ArcSec :: My battery is low and it’s getting dark EP (Glitchpulse)
Crumpled experimental electronics and distorted glitch patterns dissolve into smaller elements with each passing minute, giving My battery is low and it’s getting dark just enough momentum to keep us engaged and looking forward to more in the same vein.
Drummachinemike :: A Quiet Death (Self-Released)
A Quiet Death is a robust and dark rumbling glitch assembly despite primarily using synthetic and staccato drum segments. The tracks are highly palatable and shift into a variety of structures and genres, pushing the album into rugged terrain, making it highly recommended.
Monotone :: Call Your Friends EP (Mindwaves Music / G.DUBS)
a sonic locomotive that gathers speed while piercing through dense fog in the mid of night—showcasing a powerful set of moody abstracts and massive reverberation.
Enabl.ed :: ErrorBalm Vol.2 (Clean Error)
Eighteen tracks and four bonus pieces are featured on ErrorBalm Vol.2 resulting in a combination of relaxed abstracts and tumbling electrical data streams that can feel overwhelming. With two volumes already published in 2024, we’re curious to see how much material the multi-talented musician has in his back pocket!
Dragon :: In The Year Of… (Ryu)
The artist’s ability to regulate and crunch such modular mayhem amplifies the pummeling sound-scraping detail of its ten tracks, which are scorched to no end by the overpowering combination of noise and distinct machine rhythms.
