Golden Fangs’ music is an intricate and dense blend of musical styles like industrial, noise rock, dub, and trip hop that’s both addictive and delectable.

subtractiveLAD :: Unspoken (Self Released)
Unspoken is “performance-based, with no click, no grid, just playing,” as stated in the liner notes. Featuring granular and raw construction permeating distinctive synth swells, Unspoken flows through like a forgotten soundtrack to our soul.
Neutrino Effect :: Vapored Angels (Labile)
Vapored Angels’ relentless assault of harsh electronics and tortured instrumentals propels itself to our list of the best releases of 2024.
Faded Saga :: Faded Saga (ENRECO)
Sun-soaked, abstract, and vintage-sounding electronics with fuzzy melodic rhythms.
Rafael Toral :: Spectral Evolution (Moikai / Drag City)
This album sees Rafael Toral manipulating various sound sources to create a vast piece that goes through really, really slow chord progressions, but echoes with such wonderful textures and dynamics that it becomes almost transcendental.
Demetrio Cecchitelli :: Unity (ROHS!)
Cecchitelli’s style reminds me a bit of Angelo Badalamenti, a chosen soundtrack composer for David Lynch, among others. It is much like his, but with some Leo Kottke added, with a similar style of guitar melodies.
Allan J. Kimmel (Departure Street) & Francisco Sanfuentes (Sonidos Precarios) :: Été/Hiver (Self Released)
You can see the respect and patience that these musicians have, they do not speak the same verbal language but they are fluent in discovering and expanding their ranges of sounds, experimental and rich with strange hypnotic harmonies.
V-Stók :: Liminal (Position Disposition)
Subtle dub extracts, instrumental tangents, and glitchy transmitted noises are more disjointed and surreal this time around.
