The solemn, flat
but voluminous ‘Curfew’ reminds me of Joey Anderson, or maybe of his sets? I’ve
heard him play this, or so many similar sinister things that I’ve come to
identify this sonic footprint with him. Having said that, it’s John Osborn &
Tallmen785 behind this symphonic, future cathedral composition, which is
redolent with the spirit of a crazed Captain Nemo. ‘Mono Core’ is a deep,
aquatic journey, the type that makes you glad to be alive when played in the
graveyard sunrise shift (I can see myself coming up over the hillside to this
one). ‘Growl’ takes the menace of ‘Curfew’ and the linear approach of ‘Mono
Core’ and fuses them into a driving, techy wake up call. All in all, very nice
indeed. Shout out to the David Icke label art too.
