This is electro, however, it’s more an accompaniment to the scrurrying of trilobites on the Silurian sea bed, and the emergence of the first fish from water to land, than a breakdance in Time Square. It’s dawn of time shizzle and I’m very much on board with it. The sound design is gossamer thin, but also has a flexible tension, reinforced by atmospheric sound swathes throughout. ‘Littoral Zone’ has handclaps that are so sharp they feel like small daggers; ‘Globular’ due to its concave synth work, does evoke a glob, or at least my imaging of what a glob feels like to live within, so there’s that. ‘Drfitwood’ is where everything comes together, and is a masterpiece of emotive, epic electronics; and ‘Artemia’ is where the funk is decomposed and broken down into its frictional, constituent elements into a slow-mo primal ooze. This is molecular electro at work, and I’m under its spell.
