Taking a minimalist approach to sparse, echoed electronic music with crystallized bleeps, Loud Neighbor reveals all manner of noise machines elevated by crisp beats on Interference Pattern. “Kosmonauten” dips straight into this dynamic, more direct interferences and fast-paced percussive bursts allow this track to implode. At other moments there are technoid fractures as noted on “Frequency Domain,” a brisk, bright, and dance-floor ready, four to the floor beast. It is when the artist steers into leftfield that the creative envelope is opened. Pieces like the evasive ambient-glitch tentacles of “Beats” and “Time Squared” are so vast that they inhabit a whole other field of sonic exploration—broken blips and modular extraction at its finest. Definitive rhythms are unearthed on “Holographic,” a standout track that punches through melodic slivers and shuffling drum patches with ease and distortion. The title track is the moment of inertia. Time is allowed break away, the echoed beats, industrial-electro sheen, and haunting beauty is one to earmark for months to come. A strong eleven track album that carves a path through Rastor-like tones, yet manages to upend preconceived notions of chilled techno streams.
Interference Pattern is available on Detroit Underground.
