ingesting new faces is like sampling five exquisite desserts of
slightly different flavour and character, with each morsel
sumptuous in its own unique way.
"me see", a bouncy slice of jubilant æcarnival pop,' finds jdsy
packing a suitcase full of bleepy melodies and vocal syncopations
into a mere two minutes.
wisp underlays crystalline synth billow with locomotive breaks in
the oft-paradisiacal "sounding". darker by comparison, the
reflecting skin's "year of the knife" cloaks its thrusting
schaffel rhythms in a panoramic haze of shoegaze splendour.
rounding out the 22-minute release, manhunter's hot-wired
handclapper "body double" pulsates with staccato acid-electro
fever in a style that suggests a less industrial-oriented kill
memory crash while benoεt pioulard's folk-chant "little a strongly
more grow i", without question the most anomalous of the five,
wouldn't sound out of place on his kranky full-length precis, even
if the tune sounds like it was recorded in a bathroom (with no
bass presence to speak of, the vocal and guitar sound tinnier than
they otherwise might).
