A baffling collection of ultra-wide bass, beats, and crunchy slow-motion rhythms.
In noise we trust
Almost midway through 2022, one of the most dependable and prolific electronic noise sculptors known as Solypsis (aka Arizonian James Miller) unleashed Crisis Fatigue on the masses. This baffling collection of ultra-wide bass, beats, and crunchy slow-motion rhythms is summed up in “Manifesto” and its tangled sound-scraping beauty. While industrial, noise, glitch, and broken beats are sliced and diced, a smudged sonic signature maneuvers through crumpled grooves that are difficult to ignore. Elsewhere, tracks like “Alchemist” and “Mineshaft” shed layers of mechanical shrapnel as the core flows in a skewed path. Not withholding dark-drone expansions on “Spacer,” Solypsis simply doesn’t hold back—adding in the claustrophobic clanging closure of “Gods End,” he inadvertently signals that in noise we trust.
