Release Note ......::
R°dhσdÆs debut album æAnxiousÆ sees the artist step away from the dancefloor
and further develop the narrative qualities of his beautiful soundscapes. It
was the natural next step to present the sound he began cultivating with his
recent EPs ôKinder der Ringweltö and ôS÷hne der Erdeö as a full length LP. The
experience the album is trying to convey is being thrown into a world that is
ready to crush you. They have you with your back to the wall, and you are ready
to give way to despair. Will you be able fight back? How is it even possible?
The album begins with a series of pulsing sounds as æUnleashÆ lures the
listener into R°dhσd┤s sonic universe. Hearing indistinct sounds and rotating
helicopter blades imply an uncertainty about where this journey will go to.
Clearly aware of an oncoming adventure, the excitement of discovering an alien
world sets in. The eerie melodies and the subtle staccato grooves of æWithheld
WalkÆ pulls its audience even further into an infusible mix of curiosity and
fear.
With æEscapeÆ the bass drum finally sets in, but against all odds does not tune
into a clubby energy. Remaining restrained and imaginative, the ghostly
melodies of the æBrief RespiteÆ sound like the voices of creatures from another
planet. æAwashÆ features a beautiful, yearning flute and out-of-tune strings
wrestle with subdued breakbeats and a heavy bassline. æGlimmer Of LightÆ then
sets an uncanny key, moving the dark beauty of 80s electro into the rich and
subtle electronic palette of the present. In æTarget LineÆ, R°dhσd┤s
collaboration with Vril, the simmering synth-track breaks away when they least
expect it, setting the stage for the climax of the album. An Amen break tears
itself loose in æBurstÆ and gets lost in an echo. R°dhσd breaks away from the
story at its high point. With the quiet and majestic techno grooves of æLeft
BehindÆ the turmoil is over. Finally, last track æCast A ShadowÆ expresses
relief and quiet, giving them a chance to reflect on their mind-boggling
journey.
