RAVE 021EP
|
Mumdance, Logos, and Shapednoise go to sensational new heights on their second EP in The Sprawl trilogy. The A side picks up directly from E.P.1 (RAVE 013EP, 2015) with the synaesthetically-enhanced sensations of "Burning Chrome", with a turbulent roil of bruxist shockwaves unpredictably punctuated by lush pads. The cyberpunk terror of "Black I.C.E." hacks into the nervous system with visceral, arrhythmic dynamic. The story shifts up a gear with "X System", a breathlessly brutal 150bpm techno assault. "Online Séance" sees the trio fulminate a transcendent vision of cinematic synth noise redolent of Leyland Kirby's Intrigue & Stuff series.

RAVE 013EP
|
The Sprawl (Logos, Mumdance, Shapednoise) present their studio debut, the first release in a series on The Death of Rave. As their moniker suggests, The Sprawl is heavily influenced by novelist William Gibson's prescient sci-fi trilogy of the same name. "Drowning in Binary" plunges into recursive techno-chambers vacillating between white-hot distortion and arcing, weightless pads, before gliding across a tumultuous topography of chrome-burning flares and violent, body-quaking detonations in the morphing scape of "From Wetware to Software." With "Haptic Feedback" they grasp the quicksilver rush of classic Prototype and Reinforced before stranding the listener in the post-human headspace of "Personality Upload."
