RELEASE DATE

It's tough to know what to expect when dealing with the output of musical mastermind
Brad Rose
. Under a plethora of different guises, he has stamped his mark on just as many genres, yet
Isolatarium
, his second under the
Charlatan
moniker, might be his most focused to date. Dispensing with the jerky 808-led shimmer of its predecessor
Triangles
,
Isolatarium
makes its case with cold, digital synthesis and buried 4/4 pulses. The searing noise of Rose's output as
The North Sea
is still audible somewhere in the mix, but the key to this record is restraint, and any clouds of white noise are tempered by cascades of sizzling FM synthesis. While album highlight
Kinetic Disruption
gives a nod to the outsider dance moves of
Actress
, Rose manages to push his clatter even further into the ether with a shroud of grinding oscillators and grimacing tape noise. It almost sounds like a devastating new take on the delirious experiments of
Maggi Payne
or
Suzanne Ciani
, but with the added hoarse cough of 21st century pessimism. Rose makes his best case with the album's closing track "Terminal Zero," and as the clanking percussion and drunken tones spiral into spluttering computer malfunction, there's no doubt that he has hit on his richest seam to date.
