Album Notes & Community Reviews

The British electronic duo returns after a lengthy hiatus to deliver a stark, deeply reduced iteration of their signature rhythmic sound. Constructed entirely from sharp, synthesized micro-rhythms and severe glitch textures, the recording eschews traditional melody and basslines. It stands as a masterclass in austere, structural club music deconstruction.
