Several new darkwave and glitch-hop recordings share some related concerns. They ponder the decline and demise inherent in material existence. Fatalism and decadence go head-to-head in response.
Various glitch and lo-fi recordings this week offer a nervous view of surrounding actuality. The brittle structure of these instrumentals speaks to a marked distance from confident self-statement.
The common ground between these projects (from Togliatti, Kudymkar, and Dmitrov) lies in their use of ambient noise. They find promising, yet disconcerting liberties beyond social, spatial, and even mortal limits. The results can be worrying.
New recordings from these three projects have their roots in some distant, romantic locations: Novosibirsk, Arkhangelsk, and Irkutsk. Perhaps as a result, a pattern of natural, elemental metaphors overshadows any technical chutzpah.
