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.
Roughened downtempo layers colliding with one another
ArcSec’s My battery is low and it’s getting dark is a solid release rife with familiar yet pulsing Gescom-like arrhythmic layers. The EP swiftly moves through underground terrain, gathering densely-packed ambient dust and debris as it traverses uneven beat sections. The minuscule alien-like melodies that emerge and morph are what grab our attention as these blistered experimental electronic gems drift and dither. Each track integrates ambitious auditory qualities packed with hundreds of roughened downtempo layers colliding with one another.
This stunning audible feast comprised of melancholic blips and bleeps constantly entangles itself and takes us back to the earlier introspective IDM days of Loess, Arovane, Roel Funcken, and Lusine ICL. Crumpled experimental electronics and distorted glitch patterns dissolve into smaller elements with each passing minute, giving this EP just enough momentum to keep us engaged and looking forward to more in the same vein. Standout tracks include “quad PR,” “pols voice,” and the penultimate undulating bass-pulse of “reveal:sudran.”
My battery is low and it’s getting dark is available on Glitchpulse. [Bandcamp]
