Neutrino Effect :: FAMINE (Labile)

Radiating enigmatic industrial-electronic pulses from Omaha, Neutrino Effect (aka Jon Sanford) ventures into an entirely different dimension with FAMINE, a fourteen-track assemblage, fleeting in length but with the cosmic force of the universe propelling us through its boundless depths.

Simply explosive in all of its bite-sized slabs

Radiating enigmatic industrial-electronic pulses from Omaha, Neutrino Effect (aka Jon Sanford) ventures into an entirely different dimension with FAMINE, a fourteen-track assemblage, fleeting in length but with the cosmic force of the universe propelling us through its boundless depths. Each piece unfolds and unfurls like a splintered sonic projection, packed with raw, gritty noise and guitar treatments that feel frayed at the edges. Each element guiding us through a vast, infinite space that feels both brief and endless.

FAMINE‘s emotional intensity propels it through its subtle yet ethereal chapters. The opener, “SAMA,” exemplifies this perfectly, with dissolved vocal fragments flickering amidst a backdrop of tense, downtempo rhythms. Meanwhile, tracks like “STOLEN MEMORIES” and “DOLOSUS” drive with mechanical beats ablaze, fractured echoes, and relentless cascading rhythms.

FAMINE is a whirlwind of eroded sound structures, weaving between desolate landscapes (“HEKATE”), cold winters contrasted by a warm array of guitar strings (“KREUZUNG” and “PRODITOR”), to sandblasted shoegaze textures (“333,” “SOTERI,” and the blissful closing of “ACTS OF SEDITION”). On “[NERVOSA],” Jean-Luc De Meyer’s vocals seem on the brink of breaking free from the heavy, rhythmic industrial sludge, yet the track’s instrumental force maintains its relentless momentum.

FAMINE embodies a dynamic fusion of creativity—industrial beats seamlessly woven with roughened ambient nuances, swirling through post-ambient vortices (“HEL”) that persistently stretch, even within the brief confines of each composition. Simply explosive in all of its bite-sized slabs.
