CYN002 picks up where Coletivo Vandalismo left off, channeling that same wild, DIY bedroom studio spirit across nine individual recordings. Opening with sprawling synth motifs fighting against a steady rhythm track, æDesintegradoÆ sounds like an industrial dub punk trying to channel early Cluster or Moebius and strangely succeeding. The rest of the EP treats us to vaguely Drexciyan, subaquatic electro (æBriesÆ) and twisted lo-fi minimalism with bonus eerie monologue samples (æSuperficial LoveÆ). The one recurring theme on Magnetic Healing is InnsyterÆs clear love for mournful, post-punk inspired melodies. It comes across loud and clear on almost every track yet never sounds tired. Things eventually draw to a close with the hopelessly romantic new wave instrumental æForest Shaman' - a blink and youÆll miss it ballad for all those weary-eyed party-goers who stuck around til the sun came up! "Vast dollops of distortion, flexible grooves, and physical beats. Absolutely teeming with intense spirit...what music ought to feel like, raw and visceral to its very core." Beach Sloth "Cassette-damaged, rhythmic experiments drawing on punk, noise, techno and darkwave. Continues in much the same vein as the volatile atmosphere & grit of 2016's Poison Life" If Only "Sounds at once both forgotten and futuristic, like a knackered mix-tape found on mars.The strangeness of its sound is unmistakable. The beats and the arpeggios merge into one another to create an odd-shaped mush. But there is plenty of groove in there if you listen carefully." Stray Landings "'Local Fantasyæ is a faded post-romantic meandering into the darkest recesses of a loverÆs tortured mind, halfway a disillusioned John Maus ballad and Suicide meets Jandek bleached-out folk pop tropes. Dipped in a thick sauce of tape saturations, tides of dusty riffs and slo-mo drums beat an anesthetic cadence, and Seixlack emphasises on the eerie character of it all to create a cut as oddly enticing as it is gently haunting."
