Lokom :: Sweet Home and Gasoline (Kaometry)

An engrossing and screeching cacophony of percussive annihilation for ear, mind and foot.

Bridging the void between erratic drum’n bass and melodic/breakcore glitch, gaming elements also breath life through swaths of decomposed electronic debris. Brisk and frantic emotions merge and submerge, broken up by flickering bleeps and scattered low end. “Curing Some Old Trouble” does all of the above via smudged bass, dub and acidic clips.

Sweet Home and Gasoline checks in with seven tracks spread across intensely constructed rhythms as Lokom morphs sound systemically and with a reggae tinge. “Halo 128” maneuvers a dribbling beat and stark mood as the hard-hitting instrumental and claustrophobic noise of “Metal Drop” shakes and rattles about. Two mind-altering remixes by Substance B and Fraud close out this expansive sonic collection and what remains is an engrossing and screeching cacophony of percussive annihilation for ear, mind and foot.

Sweet Home and Gasoline is available on Kaometry.
