THE REVIEW

Soviet France: CCCP Tetralogy, second part: decentralized conjunctions.

Narcotic sound events, in constant conflict with themselves, no hypnotic intent, no elevation, just stasis in constant becoming, distorted and out of focus immobility, continuous clash between organic material and the inanimate.

Rudimentary catalepsy drumming... "Gote" crawling polyrhythms burned by a copper sun, smeared with soil, feathers, and dry foliage, the wavering and unstable progression suggests vigilant listening regimes, the passive/meditative approach remains a remotely approachable option.

The localized material organicity radiates with corrupted beauty, contaminated by the inanimate, "Bran", "Glisten", the second part of "Signal"... final outposts shining with vibrant and vivid physicality.

The inanimate antimaterial wheezes in all its contaminating radioactive fallout, "Blow": the spectral connection overturns and engulfs every sound in anomalous vortices, indistinct subversive activity aimed at sensory diversion.

In "Host" and "Threat" the inanimate innervates in pulsing/jerking explosive features and structures, the reversed perspectives channel into numbing paranoid sounds, a narcotic state of restless semi-vigilance is an established and necessary practice, the last lifeless moans concealed by the disordered screeches of the last part of "Signal" seal everything.

"les batards du monde, des diffamations d’esprit"
