Dream Pop duo Dunes. : :' Bitter Values collects the Dimensions of Value cassette as well ': ,: as the Eat Bitter CDR. Remastered and resequenced for this :, : release. : :' The basic structures of GeAr's Throbbing Gristle aesthetic ': ,: combines with the airy pop of Dunes for a familiar yet foreign :, : experience that is sure to sooth without becoming sonic : :' wallpaper. -Crizwell ': ,: :, : One of the most unforgivable sins of the broad church of sounds : :' collected under the umbrella of chillwave was its reactionary ': ,: misapplication of reverb, as some sort of analogue for the :, : blurry waves of a beach where all the beautiful people gather to : :' generate future memories whose only goal is to be blurrily ': ,: shared. It sounds like Instagrammatical history, the :, : (appallingly inaccurate) trailer for Her or an advert for Apple : :' Photos. The nightmarish stasis of the stationary state. ': ,: :, : We defrag our system of hate with a progressive utilisation of : :' reverb, by this wonderful German Army/Dunes collaboration, Germ ': ,: Class: to us, Complex Glow represents the hypnotically fractal :, : interconnectedness of reality, the confusion between cause and : :' consequence, the entropy that creeps in as old sounds are ': ,: resurrected to roam a world where everything has to exist at the :, : same time, forever. It is the shockwave of things speeding up, : :' not the other way around. - XX JFG ': ,: :, : Germ Class is a collaboration between the mysterious German Army : :' who has worked with Night-People in the past and Dunes the LA ': ,: based dreamy pop trio with prior releases on Post Present :, : Medium. The collaboration rests a bit closer to Germany Armys : :' past work then Dunes but its a collaboration that is very much ': ,: a sum of its parts in outcome and keeps with a focused but :, : experimental approach overall. Loose drum patterns form the base : :' for drifting vocals pages that balance between the industrial ': ,: grit and darkness of German Army and the more melodic ethereal :, : qualities of Dunes work. Overall the music sounds a bit like the : :' less harsh aspects of Throbbing Gristles catalog meeting up ': ,: with the more experimental sides of early Cocteau Twins. :, : : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 1 8 \/
