Songs that could easily collapse into noise instead hold together through deliberate architecture, with malfunctionism operating as an instrument in their its own right, not as damage applied to otherwise...
This isn't dub as genre exercise. This is dub as fever dream, dub as sonic ritual, dub as a transmission beamed in from some parallel Kingston where the mixing board runs on psychedelic cosmic rays instead of...
It would be easy to hear Neram Pularumbol as a record about hybridity — East meeting West, acoustic meeting digital, the usual frame critics reach for when a South Asian artist picks up a laptop. That frame undersells what...
Thorne strips each style down to its essential quality: the growl, the intricacy, the patience -- and he lets all three inform the same track without any single one taking charge. The result rarely announces which style...

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...
