"post-post-breakcore/idm/flashcore/speedcore laptop punk caybee calabash is the human embodiment of a malfunctioning cpu crossed with the winstons performing on psychedelics. '1980s LSD hypnosis seminar' is like a rollercoaster (cliche review buzzwords, etc..) that never leaves the loop-the-loop, wearing you out and dragging you along for the next track - there is no choice but to sit down and listen to this album fully.
this is a masterclass in extreme psychoacoustics and pushing fruity loops to its absolute maximum - one of those albums where you can't shake the thought of 'how do these ideas come about?' - tracks like 'the process of creating artificial stone...' scutter from tempo to tempo, sound to sound, time signature to time signature, all the while maintaining an obstinate wall of unfaltering frenzy, while 'death by misadventure' pair poignant piano (courtesy of new mexican stargazers/river everett) with volatile pads and pounding percussion."
