Gridlock 'chrometaphore' and Ontayso's (u-cover/Belgium) 'cianuro'
rebuilt by Loess. This vinyl debut on nonresponse marks their darkest
work thus far; an unsettling lull looms throughout, along with a steady
rhythm and occasional distractions. Though source material is almost
entirely salvaged from the original tracks, the duo manages to apply
their consistent approach to sound engineering: found sound manipulations,
electronics, and muted melodic content. Flat footed, yet biting.
