“After several split/collaboration CDR-releases and compilation appearances, French label Mechanoise Labs released the first full-length album of this project coming from St. Petersburg and specializing in music built mainly from radionoise manipulations. Pulsating rhythms, melodic elements, samples and dense noise attacks lie on a substrate of plangent drone layers extracted from electrified depths of radio receivers.”
