Bleep

The spiritually embalming Danse Noire gives a debut to Portuguese artist, Random Gods. Laced with references to worlds unknown and voodoo happenings, it’s a striking work that’s not intended for novice ears. Field recordings and intelligently distant percussion sit as the throngs of the tracks, with a muted tenacity to the kicks. It reeks of the Arab world sounds previous releases have delved into. Vaghe Stelle is pulled in for a remix on ‘Millito’, culling the drones and tightening the punch of the drums. Fans of Helm and Vatican Shadow’s offerings should be sure to listen.
