Focal Point drafts a clear-cut yet sophisticated sonic statement by combining throbbing yet subtly nuanced bass with gloomy ambient and downtempo timbres. Absolutely riveting.
Utterly hypnotic and groove-focused
The first track (“Manufactured Superstition”) by Focal Point is utterly hypnotic, groove-focused, and full of compellingly saturated sound design. Not to be outdone, “Statecraft” also features established bass harmonics that descend to the floor and disappear into the shadows. These swirling drones, rhythmic tones, and blackened audio textures slither into glitch-infused territory but defy genre classification. And that’s how these two pieces really come to life; in under ten minutes, Focal Point drafts a clear-cut yet sophisticated sonic statement by combining throbbing yet subtly nuanced bass with gloomy ambient and downtempo timbres. Absolutely riveting.
Manufactured Superstition / Statecraft is available on The Collection Artaud. [Bandcamp]
