Acronym & Kali Malone - The Torrid Eye
Sometimes techno is a four-on-the-floor bass drum being thrown at you like punches from a big PA at a club you wonder how you ended up in. But sometimes techno is a mesmerizing cloud of magical dust that helps you with the “I’m taking it day-by-day” reality.
In the case of The Torrid Eye released in the beginning of 2019, it might not even be fair to call it techno - or perhaps that is exactly what it is, but we have watered down the genre so much that we’re afraid to call genuine techno techno.
Who is this album for? Perhaps you’ve cried your eyes out, to the point that they are truly torrid and you need something to level the field of emotions running rampant. Or perhaps you’ve been staring blankly into the nothingness of your room or your office, losing the feeling of time and you just need a beat to go with your state of affairs before you lose your damn mind.
In any case, it is an album not to be enjoyed, but to be experienced whether that be with positive emotions or in the darkness of your inner self.
