The Vitrines - Utopian Lapses (2010)
/Dystopbient, Noise, Dark ambient, Lo-fi, Ambient noise, Experimentalism, Soundscapes, Avant-garde, Hauntology, Sound-art/
Comment: in fact, all the sound seems to be running and running in the compartments of dystopian and utopian fantasies whereby all the basic aspects and minutiae are deliberately positioned to stay very far from the imaginable subjects and all the ambience above it is filled in with somehow billowy, restraint horror. The 8-track album embarks on with the abrasive bits of noise progressions which throughout the course will be a little bit toned down thus being channelized into more ambient-esque approach (on the other side, having the sound of essentially rough and provocative because of being decorated with any kind of sonic trash and thus providing the withstood to the usual understanding of ambient music). All in all, it might be perceived as an imperfect one in the beginning, yet thanks to it the issue does demonstrate its hitting power.
