Experimental Electronic Music
Erratic and unsettling yet undeniably gripping, this set builds upon warped foundations of industrial dub, mutated jungle, and disfigured hip-hop structures. It’s an excavation—reaching backward while marching toward a future of controlled chaos and sculpted dissonance.
What makes Second so effective is the trio’s experience. Vitiello, Canty, and Rowe each bring something refined and practiced to the table. The record is skillfully composed and beautifully produced, making it no surprise that it’s also deeply satisfying.
A Coruscating Hope bends its structures into semi-familiar dance contours, then dissolves them. It’s here that a subtle storm of grayscale noise and electrical charge animates an intricate, shifting sound world—where experimental electronics meet a shadowy, tactile form of techno.
A frenetic voltage crackles—diffuse yet finely honed into serrated, dub-drenched silhouettes—across Protected by The Mellowtrons (aka Lee Walker).
Helemental doesn’t shout; it glides. It evokes connection not through force but through familiarity—like stumbling upon a memory long tucked away, warm and faintly glowing. This is an album that hums gently with presence, a quiet reminder that something beautiful still lingers, waiting to be heard.
Unrelenting and visionary, this EP is a high-caliber dispatch from a producer still pushing far beyond the present.
Though it navigates shadowy realms, How to Shoulder the Radiance of Revelations propels itself beyond time—a volatile meditation from some imagined ruin. Radiant in its disintegration, this is dub combusted and reassembled—glowing, feral, and spellbinding in the void.
Saturation Index unfolds naturally, revealing a stream of delicate, fluttering melodies that craft an elegant balance between the comfortingly familiar and the boldly new.
Compact yet immersive, Welcome to The Aviary is a cohesive narrative of sonic exploration. Mechanoreceptor conjures a detailed, imaginative world in just six tracks, balancing momentum with meditation, structure with shimmer.
One can only hope more material to remix will be unearthed and that Western’s musical legacy will find further incarnations such as this collective masterpiece. Throughout the record, Western’s uncanny knack for pure invention shines through, guiding us along one more late night journey of blissful inner exploration.
