Striations of Grace, the joint release from Lime68k and Nathan Ho, dives straight into warped rhythms and scorched electronic textures, blurring the line between solo and collaborative work. Across its crumbling core, the album bends glitch, grit, and cosmic distortion into a single restless pulse pushing their sound into uncharted territory.
Cosmic distortion drives collaborative core
Released in early October 2025, Lime68k and Nathan Ho forged an alliance on Striations of Grace, a document of some of this year’s darkest glitch and grit; it dives headfirst into arcane rhythmic deformation from the onset as “Solve” unveils scattered darkness around synth distortion and disarray. Though pieces appear both solo and collaborative, each one feels drawn from a single crumbling core, revealing a pulse that refuses to settle, as Nathan Ho’s “Kraken” illustrates.
Lime68k dissolves sound into elemental strains, with “Out to Own Concern” and “Who’s Out Concerns” unfolding as multi-level extraterrestrial soundscapes built from audiovisual shards that somehow narrates scorched electrical wires many light-years ahead of current circuits.
Nathan Ho’s “Exterior Algebra and Heroin” sparks minimal persistence in sound design alongside wide-scale echoes of vintage machinery drifting across cosmic voids. Closing collaboration “We Regret Error II” projects visions of galaxies still awaiting discovery, atmospheric debris drifting in every direction, its mission aimed at unveiling strange new worlds—crafted by human hands yet refined into forward-leaning electronic soundscapes celebrating shared creative force.
Striations of Grace is available on Evel. [Bandcamp]
