Cinematic electronic industrialism that trickles its way through a melodic haze, polished noise and lucid rhythms..
Encrusted post-industrial rhythms are enacted on Human Error’s follow-up to 2012’s Finite (CRL)—this time Tom Box encapsulates a wider sound scope from harsher industrial-techno slants to full-bore experimental crunching. The grit and gravity-filled structures, drenched in dark room beats and erratic noise, is well-balanced on Endure Yourself.
“Age of the Ego” takes on the emotional power envelope, shredding it to bits and pieces of high-viscosity rhythm. There’s a hard-edged smattering of beats at every corner—like pistons firing off in repetitive intervals, yet seemingly in sync with each other. “The Exception to the Rule” flows into more classical lava streams—slow moving with a sputtering beauty tucked in between the chaos. Two Tympanik Audio affiliates chime in to remix the title track. r.roo’s version slides through rhythmic percussive clusters and amplifies the essential roots which built the original piece. Access To Arasaka does what he does best; broken glitch-mechanics collide in a sparked cosmos until all that is left are the raw ingredients from which “Endure Yourself” was formed. Magnadrive takes “Endure Yourself’ into sweeping EBM shapes intended for late night club listening.
Put simply, this is cinematic electronic industrialism that trickles its way through a melodic haze, polished noise and lucid rhythms.
Endure Yourself is available on CRL Studios. [Bandcamp]
