Chrome tears rolling down the cyborg's cheeks, Gesaffelstein is at his most vulnerable SPECTRUMtheir first album in five years.
The French electronic music icon reinforces himself as a sculptor of emotional resonance, building monolithic structures carved with dark, glitchy basses. Yet within these imposing buildings, intricate hues shimmer and whisper. Gesaffelstein's mastery lies in this balance.
Yeah hyperion It was a chrome monument, SPECTRUM It's the demolition, their anguished voices writhing to the soundtrack of their world on the brink. From the opening salvo of “Digital Slaves” to the haunting ambient coda of “Emet,” the new album is an exercise in duality. His virtuosic mastery of texture and timbre feels both foreign and intimately familiar, an unflinching confrontation with the depths of the human condition.
In other places of SPECTRUM, Gesaffelstein ramps up the claustrophobia by virtue of “Psycho,” a distorted track that could be the soundtrack to a horror movie set in a mirror maze. And after that strobe-light headache, he bathes in the glow of it on “The Perfect,” a sonic sensory deprivation tank in which his tortured voice floats over a strident beat.
