CVN is the latest brainchild of Nobuyuki Sakuma, the former founder of my beloved Jesse Ruins (R.I.P). While Jesse Ruins’ earlier works were very ethereal and almost dreamlike their later releases had a dancier, colder almost distant sound about them, CVN doesn’t really happen to be either however. If I could best describe the feeling I get while listening I would say it’s the onset of a panic attack. Metallic clangs, bubbly synths, loops played in reverse, hectic drum patterns and chopped glitchy vocals all combine together to create something quite special and a little nightmareish. While I know that description might not exactly be appealing to everyone, I would urge you to give it a listen anyways as you might find yourself refreshingly surprised. This is the song First Distinction off of his first album Matters, released in February of this year. You can get it HERE or on itunes HERE. He also released another EP by the name of Unknown Nerves a few days ago which you can download off of bandcamp HERE.
