Album Notes & Community Reviews
Pivoting away from systemic club music styles toward distorted, grunge-influenced shoegaze architectures, 'new avatar' marks a significant stylistic departure. Produced in large part by Oscar Scheller, the twelve-track record integrates noisy guitar layers on tracks like 'Linknb' while retaining smooth vocal methodologies. High-profile guest contributions from A. K. Paul, Foushe茅, and PinkPantheress provide diverse structural counterweights.
