Brimming with emotive electronics and sharp rhythm patches, Exit Only gives machine music a soul, capturing its essence seemingly out of nowhere.
A wonder of sound design, broken electronics, and melancholic rhythms
With its warped melodic charm and disoriented percussion, Exit Only’s (aka Portland-based Nick Inhofe) Security Through Obscurity is a wonder of sound design, broken electronics, and melancholic rhythms that aims to broaden the senses. Thoughtful soundtracks like “Can’t Sleep” offer comfort to individuals experiencing sleeplessness, while “Omnidawn” evokes strong emotions with its intricately layered sonic structures. The final tracks, “New Private Window” and “Outro Drone,” are magnificent electrical pulsars that will delight fans of earlier works from Deru and Funckarma. Brimming with emotive electronics and sharp rhythm patches, Exit Only gives machine music a soul, capturing its essence seemingly out of nowhere.
Security Through Obscurity is available on Bandcamp.
