Bleep

Spanish duo LCC's new album d/evolution – released via Editions Mego – is a brilliant and singular offering of electronic music that defies any easy classification. Many tracks on d/evolution could be approached as ambient or noise, but just as a sense of familiarity sets in things take wild yet organic about-turns into bold new directions. For instance 'Graphein' begins with an ethereal layer of noise before a haunting and delicate piano line kicks in, and then somehow the whole track turns into a pulsing and melancholic techno stomper. This is a masterful and emotional work that sounds like little else.
