Reviews
Chrysalide, “Personal Revolution”
French industrialists Chrysalide get radical on their newest and possibly best album.
Ssleaze, “The Thirst is Real”
Los Angeles synthpunk trio Ssleaze make the music you would expect a group named Ssleaze to make. Only moreso.
Randal Collier-Ford, “गोड्स आवर नेवर स्लीप”
Dark ambient up-and-comer experiments with droning minimalism.
Defrag, “Drown”
Jeff Dodson applies his skills in sound design to create ornate electronic music that retains feeling and accessibility despite it’s complexity.
Youth Code, “A Place To Stand”
The new Youth Code EP catches the band’s ferocity in greater clarity, and is proof positive of their import.
Raison D’être, “Mise En Abyme”
The first album of new studio material from Raison D’être in five years consolidates Peter Andersson’s legacy, and offers some intriguing hints at the future of the dark ambient project.
Blush Response, “Desire Machines”
New York’s Blush Response show intense focus and an emphasis on sound design on their latest LP.
Sebastian Komor, “Vikings, Thrones & Dragonbones”
The prolific producer indulges his orchestral jones on this new suite that finds a balance between composition and full on club stompers.
Weep, self-titled
Doc Hammer’s Weep re-release an album of laid back melodic post-punk…or do they?
Idlefon, “Intensive Collectivity Known As City”
Tense and claustrophobic, Idlefon’s debut flips the IDM script while holding on to its core elements.
Steril, “Misanthrop”
The new album from fan-favourite German industrial group Steril succeeds by sounding pretty much how anyone who likes Steril would want it to sound.
Replicas: Executive Slacks, self-titled EP
The reissue of the debut by the Philly art-punks is some very strange, very tense and oddly funky stuff.
