I’ve taken interest in Dam Mantle’s new kaleidoscopic mash up of theatrical experimentation. Careless about the dance floor, it’s an exploration of his equipment. The songs change, even halfway through, making a meandering collage, interrupted and horrified. A scrapheap of differential speeds, 8-bit electro, errant ticks and flurrying synths haunted with echo. It’s cluttered, expansive, disorientating and somewhat overwhelming but argh! It’s interesting and vibrant. Basically: Robotic Disney scores on shrooms.
