sissel wincent: inspirational quotes

Inspirational Quotes is Stockholm-based Sissel Wincent's killer second charge of buzzing techno. It follows her remix of Fever Ray's "Wanna Sip". "Ponytails" starts with roving kicks scanned by searchlight synths and an ice-cold melody, while "Cynical" holds that glaring sound in clenched suspense with a push-and-pull of jarring atonalities. On "Yellow Lines" Sissel swerves closer in effect to the primitivist bangers of Frak with unflinching style, but an element of trippy emotive pathos creeps in with the curdled synths smeared over militant steppers' ballistics on "Still Undetermined", before "Distance As Distance" holds her anti-banger stance with bruising, abrasive force.
