Bleep

Drew McDowall (Coil, Psychic TV) is back on the Dais imprint with new LP The Third Helix. This is a set of murky, droning industrialism that occasionally allows rays of sunshine to break through the clouds. See, for instance, how harmonious chords peek out from behind the grinding textures of ‘Tendrils’, or the beatific ‘Immanent Condition’ which closes the record out. However, by and large this is a moody and dissonant album full of abrasive drones and broiling deconstructions. Think Ziur, Arca and Holly Herndon.
