Pentagrams Of Discordia — three shadows, maybe, operating from nowhere in particular — have built a collection of tracks that feel like a séance was conducted through deeply unstable analogue circuitry...
As a first transmission on Zoku – Zoku, Ectospazm sets a high bar: eight tracks that refuse to settle for a single mode when three or four will do, played with the confidence of someone who has spent years...
