Bleep

Parisian crew 404 follow up their 2019 debut LP with another set of mysterious, oddball techno. This eponymous EP finds 404 running tracks at that same slow tempo as many Pye Corner Audio joints, but the 404 sound is far stranger and draws more from industrial and dub. Joe, Parris and Low Jack are perhaps more apt comparisons, though 404’s music is also darker and moodier than the work of those two - ‘Cliffhanger’s murky buzz could be mistaken for something by UVB-76’s Pessimist. Ones to watch for sure.
