A surreal drum manifest that lures you in
Further 170bpm explorations and drum-funk abstractions from K-Chaos. All manner of scorched dark beats and bass are ravaged on Traces and what lies just beneath the drum onslaught is a thin droning soundscape that is both eerie and brooding. The smattering of fluid breaks only seek to accent Traces dark shadows as “Fun From The Future” exhibits this trajectory perfectly. “Nothingness” takes a more laid back approach—blurred background beats build upon early Amon Tobin versus Witchman dynamics that are nothing short of baffling. On tracks like “Plum Spirit,” the flowing industrial landscape is wrought with muddy trails and scattered branches leaving only an echo for the listener to grasp onto. The title track trickles down similar pathways, its definitive tribal beat pattern is hypnotic and eventually opens midway through while creepy sound structures bend and twist to no end. Traces is a surreal drum manifest that lures you in.
Traces is available on Onset Audio. [Bandcamp]
