Bleep

The forward-thinking Dead Fader follows up his 2016 Parachute Records debut with this new LP. The one born John Cohen can draw on more influences than most - the press release cites Kanye West, Bach, IDM and Krautrock - and his wide-reaching ear bears fruit on the envelope-pushing Jenny153. Tracks like ‘Fire Storm’ and ‘Raw Food’ combine glitchy synth work with fast-paced drum takes in a manner that recalls Arca and Amnesia Scanner. ‘FYI’ is an industrial-strength rendering of Yeezy’s ‘Black Skinhead’, while closer ‘Ice Pits’ is as chilling as the title suggests. The album’s second half also features a few tracks that skirt towards trap territory while still maintaining the abrasive textures of Jenny153’s opening cuts.
