Makunouchi Bento - Himette (2003)



9.3

/Electro pop, IDM, Experimental electronica, Mood music, Ambient techno/

Comment: MB is a duo from Romania whose 13 piece album`s cornerstones are angular IDM beats and loosely dangling electro rhythms which in turn are embellished with glitch-y dust and industrial vapour. On the other side, the album includes fascinating emotive narratives and joyous reverberations or used to get involved in more experimental exercises (with shuffling drums and abrasive guitar riffs or built on voices which are reversed and treated) or exploring atmospherical realms with the help of  rhythmic structures and spoken word parts. In a nutshell, the listener can say the whole is a craftily balanced album drifting in between technological level and solid emotive approach.
