RELEASE DATE
12/6/2019
Two years in the works,
Baroque
follows from the D&B-styled flux of
Ena
's early 2019 collaboration with
Felix K
(
F&E #1
) to sound out more unorthodox areas of inquiry of abstruse,
Chain Reaction
-like sound design and algorithmic decomposition. In terms of the music's boneless construction and roiling spectral nature, it surely ranks among Different Circles' headiest and most psychedelic releases following the dread kinematics of
Logos
'
Imperial Flood
album (DIFFLP 003LP) and the cult acclaim given to their killer
Raime
and
Szare
12"s in the past year. Variously recalling the sound of stressed-out machinery or the sferic mystery of
The Conet Project
,
Baroque
sees Ena transition further from recognizable styles into a richly enigmatic tonal and texture-rhythmic language. Over the album's six tracks he uses this futurist-primitive mode to express a detached, meditative state-of-mind that speaks to paradoxical ideals of club music and domestic listening: of being simultaneously in it, yet out of it; of finding yourself lost in the crowd of noise. It's a sound that resonates with the short-circuiting AI convulsions of Logos,
Mumdance
, and
Shapednoise
's EP for The Death of Rave as much as the hypnagogic mulch of
Thought Broadcast
or the most abstruse Chain Reaction releases -- think a rusted and sunken
Dynamo
or
Porter Ricks
in radioactive waters -- and comes primed in artwork by Raime that perfectly highlights the music's strange, semi-organic nature and austere yet psychoactive allure. RIYL: Porter Ricks, Felix K, Dynamo,
Pendant
. Mastered and cut at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin. Edition of 300.
