Review: Sophie Cooper - Our Aquarius

The sounds are conjured from the instruments, not played on them. The slow bulging chords of “Blessed Angel And The Roses” (a warm, electronic waft) are teased into life as though beckoned out by an index finger, while Cooper’s voice wraps around the notes like a snake coiling upon

Review: Full Of Hell & Merzbow - S/T

Multiplied by the muscle of Merzbow, Full Of Hell pummel at the membrane of reality until it bursts open. There are moments where I feel myself flecked in sweat and at the butt of a wayward, flailing elbow; in the midst of a very human form of energy expulsion, surrounded

By rendering audible the electronic signals of household objects – phones, fridges, computers, lights – Tim Allen generates a symphony that is happening all the time. In my living room, right now. Objects humming and sighing at eachother; continuous drones co-mingling over my head, slotting

Review: We Will Fail - Verstörung 2.0

Two major aspects of dance music are control and imposition. Verstörung 2.0 has them both covered. The album is its own atmosphere; it regulates gravity and communicates in patterns of shadow and visible light. The bass frequencies are dense but precisely applied – metal girders that lower upon my head
