A tumultuous ebb and flow
James Miller (aka Solypsis) has been in constant pursuit of raw and harder-edged electronics, continuing with Adversarial, a 13-track sonic behemoth that sandblasts its way through broken rhythms and beat infestations galore. The mangled industrial-techno distortions that Solypsis possesses are simply astounding as he creates vast, fluctuating, and corrosive pieces that forage their way through the deepest voids we’ve yet to explore. While some tracks punish the speakers with a ferocity that is outright pummeling, we could also envision Adversarial composed as a tightly-packed extended player featuring five highlights—”Dead Sparrow,” “Gawd Dayum,” “Untethered,” “Still Life,” and “Heliospahn”—and the results would have been just as impacting. A tumultuous ebb and flow from a multi-talented craftsman that somehow finds a balance between opposing structural forces.
Adversarial is available on Component. [Bandcamp]
