Inside Information delivers on all fronts—drenched atmospheric pressure launched over skeletal industrial-electronic remains, this is a contagious musical lifeform start to end.
Somewhere lost in a chasm, deep in the confines of an alien world, one will find Huron‘s sound illuminating microscopic glitches and random tentacles as a post-industrial sheen is curated. Huron (aka Berlin-based Steffen Schröder) sets tones and drones meshed with mechanized debris, as if classic-era Gridlock were to meet Access To Arasaka. Low-end rumblings fall between veils of darkness as Inside Information reflects shadows and light sources from all angles. With clear sound design execution, it comes as no surprise that Schröder continues to expand the proverbial envelope.
A focus on magnetic ambient strands (ie. “HumanTZ05550X,” “Ghost In The Mirror,” “Mind Reader,” and “Concede”) allow the album to ebb and flow between mysterious, inspired, and fluid sonic shapes. Elsewhere, moments like the glitch-infested brittleness of “Forest Lover,” to the fragile electrical pulse of “Hunting The Morning Light” depict confined audible powers driven through a delicate mist. An album that manifests fury and compassion, frustration and calm, “Rainy And I Love It” summarizes the collection blissfully in just over five minutes.
As a result, Inside Information delivers on all fronts—drenched atmospheric pressure launched over skeletal industrial-electronic remains, this is a contagious musical lifeform start to end.
