Snowbeasts :: Energy (M-Tronic)

Flexible tones, buzzed-out drone patterns, and invocatory voices are sustained by hyper-active trance-like pulsating ambiences. With its eclectic side this album has necessary ingredients to enthrall fans of Salem, Umberto, Brassica and Zombi as well as gothic synth-pop from Die Form.

Flexible tones, buzzed-out drone patterns, and invocatory voices

The highly productive duet consisting of Rob Galbraith (synths, electronics) and Elizabeth Virosa (vocals, effects) Snowbeasts has offered a new creative input for the indie label M-Tronic. It is the fourth album published by this Paris based publisher whose catalog is entirely devoted to chillwave, beat-laden electronica and industrial ambient.

Back in 2014 Snowbeasts started its musical trajectory with ominous dark-infused ambient albums, since a handful of years their path seems to embrace more extensively uncompromising industrial then minimal post-techno assaults, EBM, and witch-house thrills with sparse elements of dark ambient. The mix between those various genres is put a step further in this punchy and obsessionally repetitive soundtrack/gothic electronic manifest. Flexible tones, buzzed-out drone patterns, and invocatory voices are sustained by hyper-active trance-like pulsating ambiences. With its eclectic side this album has necessary ingredients to enthrall fans of Salem, Umberto, Brassica and Zombi as well as gothic synth-pop from Die Form.

Energy is available on M-Tronic.
