Alina Valentina ignores rule books. When it comes to making
music, she bends genres to her own sound and vision. Acid,
electro, synth wave, vocoders. All are melted to produce a
bracing style that is floor focussed and strikingly
individual. It is this distinctive perspective that The
Hague based artist brings to Schrodinger's Box for NPC
Dream, eight tracks that map a journey that disregards genre
limitations. The intent and mood are immediately set with
the fierce "Air Slasher" plunging through the fog as kicks
roll and beads of acid bulge. Raw electro is further
coarsened by scything keys and vicious vocoder words in the
title piece before the technoid mutations and pain-streaked
"Echo of Ecco". The ground is never stable, the direction
and ideas darting and shifting to new sonic territory.
Punishing and pure, "Mine Cart Madness" is EBM-encrusted
cruelty. Tempos shift on the flip, the slow and cinematic
atmosphere of "Pixel Swamp" feeding into the sinister and
snarling snares of "Wishing Engine". Paranoia and tension
collide in the stabbing chiptune chords and spiking
percussion of "Come Get Some", acid barbs ballooning into a
blistering barrage in this warped wrecking ball. "Light
Warrior" is cut from the same raucous cloth. Knobs splinter
against machined lyrics, sirens blare as kicks thump in this
basement lurking beast.
