Diamond Eater, Part 5 of Detroit Underground’s Hyperglitch series curated by Woulg, attempts to not only extend the glitch genre, but also extrudes further details buried in its tangled outer shell. With Soup at the helm, the results are baffling—each beat, bass, and tone is doused with an extraterrestrial sheen. “6666” expands and contracts with magnetically charged flickering bits and unintelligible stretched vocal strands that simply breaks apart. The title track, perhaps the standout of the lot, is textural fluid—its granulated electrical particles drift and dither. “11111” is a short running audio shift that feels alive, abstract, and filled with microscopic field recordings, bird sounds, and an avalanche of soundscraping beauty as “Memorycore” crafts a delicately constructed glitch synopsis ultimately tying a bow on the latest Hyperglitch release. A blissfully succinct and tightly compacted EP.
