In case the file extension in the title hadn't already given
the game away, this latest from Vs_price (aka Vincent Papon)
is another bulletin from the post-IDM electronica hinterlands.
As ever, Expanding and their roster of artists should be
commended for sticking to their guns in a climate that attempts
to sweep the genre under the rug at every opportunity.
While there's plenty of bitcrushed chaffe to go around there
remains a healthy supply of compelling new home listening
electronica records, and Vs_price has been doing his bit in this
field ever since his 2002 Expanding debut.
For this latest full-length the French producer tweaks the formula
of muted, melancholic synths and glitched-out beats to evoke
more organic sounds, placing greater emphasis on acoustic
instrumentation and more contemporary-sounding 12k-style
manipulations (as heard on the excellent 'Boiteziq').
The brightly reverberant refrain of 'Neuf' provides an excellent
summation of Papon's skills, marrying a fluttering, granular rhythmic
motif with a haunting synth loop reminiscent of Arovane's 'Thaem Nue'.
The IDM backlash backlash starts here. Possibly.
