But be warned, if you were never into IDM at all, this might not be your cup of tea. And i feel like this artist deserves a bit more of a look in. And making it to first place on The Wire's best albums of 2012. It's an interesting yet visceral album that has been overlooked. I'm not saying IDM is dead, but it's residing in a stale funk often caused by the fans only putting the bigger artists within the genre on pedestals, letting albums like these slip by the wayside.īut overall.
in comparison to genres such as Hypnagogic pop music or contemporary UK/US electronic music that has been surging lately with new clashes within the grime scene, fresh faced youngsters with impeccable production skills Or young new artists approaching a more unorthodox approach. And people seem to be more fond of it for the mere concept of nostalgia. Even though he somewhat pioneered the genre, It's not a genre that is as widely discussed anymore. The only noteworthy release in the IDM plain as of late has been Syro by Aphex Twin. With labels like WARP going from an almost exclusive stable of experimental electronic artists to a much more diverse cast of bands and musicians. It's a genre that is past it's peak of popularity. Of course, this could be a dealbreaker if you have outgrown the IDM sound as of late. Even though being two completely different players in sound, the overlap in influence and buildup is astoundingly similar. I would almost want to call this album " xen before xen". But quickly evolved to something a lot more organic and dissonant with his 2014 release " Xen". It feels more machine like then compared to works of similar contemporaries like Arca, who in his own respect with his earlier releases had a somewhat more electronic feel to it. And hammers home that cold disconnectd feeling of hospital ER's at 3 A.M. Songs like " Carcass" have her repeating a mantra over a cold and erratic rythm almost comparable to Autechre's earlier works. Not only in production, but also in the use of vocals, the sparse undertone of rythm, often huddled in the background like a bug crawling underneath your skin.

Laurel Halo is an American IDM/electronics producer hailing from Michigan. Case in point, Black is beautiful by Dean Blunt and Inga Copeland ( that's for another thread) and Laurel Halo Often considered as one of the staple dubstep/garage/2-step labels reigning from the UK It's surprising to say the least that they have released quite a few experimental albums. Hyperdub is surprising as fuck when it comes to their releases.
