Comment: Infirm Individual`s album Agoraphobia was one of the most eminent
issues in 2014 at least regarding Recent Music Heroes blog. Although it was
deliberately eclectic it constituted an organic whole involving disparate
elements from black metal and cybergrind to more mellow synth pop and easy
listening slivers. In fact, Spiritual
Blackout comes out of the same year, though providing a little different
accents and flavours. Undoubtedly it is a great 4-track release drawing
aesthetically influences from spaced-out glamorous synth rock/electro pop
rock/fusion bands (Space, Ganymed, Zodiac) from the end of 70s and the first
half of 80s in Continental Europe and even surprisingly blinking the eye to the
hip-hop genre. Yeah, it embraces a shitloads of glisteningly exuberant synth
progressions and drum machine relied thumps and alien-like vocal glimpses
immersed in hyperreality. In a nutshell, probably I am going to add it also to
the best albums issued in 2014. By the way, he recently issued the brand new
one album Neo Tokyo (it
is a self-release similarly to his previous outings).
