Montage, the debut release from Analept on EC Underground, offers a captivating and soothing experience, where warped braindance rhythms, distorted synths, and wandering melodies elevate the sound to a higher plane. The album flows effortlessly, blending rugged beats with fragmented electronics in a seamless, organic way. It’s a natural progression for abstract soundscapes, filled with mystery and dissonance yet undeniably calming. From the industrial-glitch assault of “The Dead End” to the nostalgic BoC-inspired “Membranes,” “Interference,” and “Cornered but not yet Dead,” to the blissful rhythms of “Stray Bullet” and the raw emotional depth of “The Forgotten Case,” Analept crafts intricate soundtracks that evoke the warmth of vintage machinery. In its final moments, Montage reveals a reflective collection of contrasts—downtempo yet purposeful, with moments of serenity and introspection scattered among its peaks and valleys.

Montage is available on EC Underground February 21, 2025. [Bandcamp]
