grebenstein: strong proud stupid & superior

Grebenstein present a highly stylish, unrepentant brace of drum 'n synth noise pressure on Strong Proud Stupid And Superior. On side A, Grebenstein harnesses the starkly detached vocals of Seefried in a slow demonstration of detached cold wave, with a narrative arc that encompasses intimate confession and paranoid internal impulses. The more texturally rich and aesthetically subdued side B features Joscha Bauer and starts with the swelling drone discord of "Grauer03". "Grauer04" sounds like Cut Hands slowed down by 1000%, inverting the aesthetic to a far more impending sort of stygian doom.
