Heterodox continues to stretch the boundaries of abstract electronics with How to Stay Conscious While You Drown presenting 18 tracks of crumpled sounds agitating the landscape. Tagged as a Texas Compilation, the tracks venture through many shapes and forms. From ambient and emotive slivers (Crystal Voyager, episodic memory), mangled synth blips (Cyclop Toad, Daze of Heaven, BRAINWAVVE-HEAT-CHEM), saccharin vocal echoes (Heavy Stars, Raindro, Tiago Barreto da Silva), crunchy technoid and industrial mechanics (Lost Cat Magnet, FITNEZ), noise and shoegaze introspections (The Viewer + Black Magic Cyborg), broken beats and braindance (Midi Fister, John Nap, Star Fighter Dreams, HollowEarth), and old-school breaks and drum’n bass (Dylan Cameron, Caudroped). So much to consume and such a varied collection from the Lone Star State, Heterodox punctuates their imprint as a forward-thinking collective not afraid to cultivate unique sonic experiments.
