DeBaser’s reviews paint Techno Animal as a British duo pushing industrial hip hop, illbient, dub and ambient into abrasive territory. Key albums span Ghosts, Re-Entry, Radio Hades and The Brotherhood of the Bomb (Matador, 2001). Expect walls of distortion, colossal bass and guest verses from EL-P, Dälek, Vast Aire, Anti-Pop Consortium and more. The writing is unanimously laudatory, highlighting intensity, invention and urban dread.
