"Returning to the internet scene with yet another experimental electronic game-changer, Bagel Fanclub’s new album Encore County Ground continues the duo’s mission to fuse chiptune with much grittier and noisier electronic sounds. However, where the previous record wore its vintage video game soundtrack influences on its sleeve, Encore County Ground pushes these more melodic tendencies even further into abstract subtlety. After establishing a simple, iconic theme with chiptune tones, Bagel Fanclub moves through various modes of deconstruction, sculpting their noise, techno, industrial, glitch, dub, footwork, and jungle sounds around these digestible foundations..."
