sprawl: ep2

Mumdance, Logos, and Shapednoise go to sensational new heights on their second EP in The Sprawl trilogy. The A side picks up directly from E.P.1 (RAVE 013EP, 2015) with the synaesthetically-enhanced sensations of "Burning Chrome", with a turbulent roil of bruxist shockwaves unpredictably punctuated by lush pads. The cyberpunk terror of "Black I.C.E." hacks into the nervous system with visceral, arrhythmic dynamic. The story shifts up a gear with "X System", a breathlessly brutal 150bpm techno assault. "Online Séance" sees the trio fulminate a transcendent vision of cinematic synth noise redolent of Leyland Kirby's Intrigue & Stuff series.
