The Fellow Passenger :: Use Markers (Point Source Electronic Arts)

Share this ::

In this latest assemblage, the album builds upon itself with each track blissfully disjointed and drawing us into the void. Expanding from every angle, subtle electronic entanglements flourish with dark and light shadows.

When everything simply falls into place, glitch morsels frolic with robotic tones and magnetic beats. This is where The Fellow Passenger carves a distinctive path on Use Markers, a ten track for Point Source Electronic Arts. In this latest assemblage, the album builds upon itself with each track blissfully disjointed and drawing us into the void. Expanding from every angle, subtle electronic entanglements flourish with dark and light shadows.

Hidden windows open at just the right moments to let the air in, swiping blips, bleeps, and sharp braindance elements are balanced with subtle ambient lava flows. Such an influx of structured sound-scraping detail is displayed across tethered modular smorgasbords. Use Markers recalls original IDM path makers while seamlessly refined with a polished sheen of electrical wax. Standout tracks include “No One Picks Up,” “Pay No Bills,” “Second Interlock – Electropica View,” and “These Boards Must Come To An End.”
