A surreal visual and aural impression is elevated by the clinical accuracy of each composition, its punctuated rhythms, and its blend of dub techno strands cut with skeletal electronics and tangled synth peripherals.
Inhabiting alien rhythmic strata
Dark atmospheric fissures and pixelised glitch extrusions are decimated by CHXFX (aka Dave Henson), while crumpled industrial blips and bleeps disperse in all directions. With every passing minute, these seven splintered technoid forms seamlessly expand and contract, inhabiting alien rhythmic strata. A surreal visual and aural impression is elevated by the clinical accuracy of each composition, its punctuated rhythms, and its blend of dub techno strands cut with skeletal electronics and tangled synth peripherals. Another highly recommended release of chiselled sonic experimentalism for fans of Monolake, Alva Noto, and Byetone.
