Bleep

From Central Processing Unit comes an elusive new album, released by an anonymous artist whose CPU debut is preceded by records for Ninja Tune and Planet Mu. As with the label’s recent expansions into further electronic palettes, this is not your standard electro affair: steel slices breaks into busied fragments, while angular jazz notes trickle into guttural, overdriven beats, offset by the eager playfulness of gargantuan bass wobbles and squeaky bubblegum synth melodies. The opening track’s slow rhythms and atmospheric buzz is torn apart by an irradiated followup, at breakneck pace with visceral clattering percussion producing growling friction.
