Comment:
Project Hypoxia comes out from Kaliningrad, Russia and Disfigured Tales is
the fourth issue under the Japanese imprint Bump Foot. Unfortunately I have not
listened to the first three albums yet but it should be done at least on the
base of goodness of the current outing. More profoundly, this 8-notch issue is
imbued with bold, crisp tectonic rhythms and velvety-dark synthesisers full of
different semitones and tickling sonorous shades, there are up many samples
from different eras and places worldwide (hints at bhangra and ancient Slavic
music). In principle, it is trip-hop and downtempo music by stylistic
definitions that does mean it is lurking in mood and labyrinthine in its
compositions though its dream-drenched progressions are the best part of the
issue. There are some intriguing dodges additionally – for instance, Mirror
Mask that chimes like a more thoughtful Cocteau Twins. In a word, the
result is fabulous throughout the course with some very special monumental
glimpses.
