2.7 averageErwann S. STAFF | August 31st 22

Quite scattered all-electronic record (dungeon synth & Latin together, that's a surprise, but also traces of crunk or cumbia) that goes for repetitive patterns that, despite compositional qualities, just don't manage to move me.

A soundtrack for Blade Runner if it was released in 2015.

4.5 superbTheManMachine | October 29th 15

If the 2-track sub-10-minute Moth/Lake was the trailer, consider this the 4-track barely-half-hour feature film that exceeds all expectations and leaves your popcorn neglected. Each of these towering compositions go on a bit too long, and all the better for it -- opening again with a prelude of protracted spoken word that is somehow genuinely gripping before moving onwards to a wackily incredible triad of vaguely hip-hop-flavored sound-collage homespun synth odysseys, this emanates enough engaging sounds and unique personality to certainly excuse any duration dilemmas. Coloration a la comic book and/or video game warp zone is fitting for this softly textured yet intense universe -- where an acoustic guitar trance rhythm meets bird tweets meets buried speech meets a gun capable of shooting lasers/piano solos/normal ol' bullets too and The Chirping Crickets (they're back) now coincide with none other than Lil' Jon. Also guest starring Cackling Witch and That Infamous Falling/Screaming Guy.
