A unique musical sensibility that’s raw and slices into you. One of the very few times in my musical listening experience that I’ve said to myself, Well, that’s a bit disturbing.
A quick set of reactions as I was listening:
Electro-liquid stuttering, voices trapped in digital torment seek to break through a electromagnetic veil, waterfalls of distortion and synth growl, giant robot steps on factory floors, violent wrestling sex between tentacled cyborgs, metal skin shredding, knives screaming, metallic smoke hazing above machine thrum, unexpected AM radio static when driving in the middle of the country and you look up and see an amber light in the tree line that seems to be watching you.
