ZOiD Holy MOLY!

It's been a while since I had to immediately listen to an album again for a second time after the first listen.

Very hard to pick a favourite... Esmeralda, Crooksling, Zoom in Enhance, all incredibly tasty works with catchy tunes, immaculate sound design and synth work, totally lush beats... this whole album seriously raises the bar for irish electronic musicmakers. bloody hell Dunk. may this get the recognition it deserves. Favorite track: Hyperstition.

about

Sunken Foal returns for his 9th studio album but first on FES with Reveal in Finder. There’s a certain vintage aesthetic to much of what’s going on here. Pianos and stringed instruments meet bubbling 808 percussion sounds, bass guitar and fizzy sample work. Talk boxes and vocoders play a role, while 'Siel Orchestra' glints and chunky 'Moog' squelches adorn the rest.

Using algorithmic sequencing methods to investigate the structural forms of various styles of rhythm, tone and melody, then sculpting the results into a kind of mechanical psychedelic studio-pop, Dunk delivers as always with this latest album as probably his best yet. Sometimes containing glorious slow pads, but sometimes funk that makes the listener's shoulders and hips move in opposite directions, and yet at times, reveals its fair share of unsettling dark corners. A right click to Reveal in Finder.

Comes with bonus downloadable 50x50cm 300dpi cover artwork for print.
