Kapitel is the debut recording from the Russian-Swedish musician Mischa Pavlovski, now based in Copenhagen. Pavlovski has previously played in punk and metal bands that have also released on Posh Isolation, and his solo debut offers a very different take on sound, though in equally dark territory. Kapitel is a monolithic piece of minimal, ambient techno. It is quite beyond belief that this is someone's debut: with an incredible ear for composition and timing, Pavlovski presents four tracks, each leading into the next with heavy, pulsing bass; distant, desolated melodies; paranoid, ambient soundscapes; and an underlying steady kick binding it all together. With a running time of almost 40 minutes it still manages to keep its listener captivated from the first kick to the last synth. Drugs, anxiety, club lights turning off one by one, waking dreams.
