Unrelenting and perplexing
This aptly-titled EP consists of four tightly wound tracks by Berlin-based Andrey Gankin. With disjointed melodic pulsars and punctuated rhythms, opener “ducked fap Whatsday” busts through the speakers with fury. “ADHD Breaks (ADHD Lite)” ventures into drill’n bass/noise terrain with its roughened fast-paced trajectory, and “ducked fap Whatsday (Dance Edit)” doesn’t lag behind with a few lightning bolts accenting its syncopated drums. Finally, Wildsnail delves even deeper into ragga-breakcore aspects with the clustered funk of “ADHD Breaks (Full ADHD Experience),” which spreads its shuffling beat patterns all over the floor for us to piece back together. To put it mildly, ADHD Breaks is a four-track EP that is both unrelenting and perplexing.
“Drawing inspiration from pioneering artists like Autechre, Aphex Twin and Venetian Snares among others, Wildsnail crafts tracks that are more than experimental soundscapes; they’re symbolic narratives, layered to reveal the mind’s inner chaos and hyperactivity. Performed live with minimal post-production, ADHD Breaks offers listeners a raw and immersive experience.”
ADHD Breaks is available on Bandcamp.
