cl-025 | Nick R 61 - Who Are You?

by Crazy Language

Root Mean Square

Crazy Language's latest release comes as a new shift in sound as usual, directly from Russia. Who are you? seems to be the perfect way to start a conversation with Nick R 61. His answer is perfectly clear on this record, and would be surprising to most of what only one man can do. Through blends of precise mechanical sound design, auster synth/bass works, whilst balancing with very accessible easy listening, almost pop tunes, prooving this way that IDM is not always about strangeness and alienation. It's all in the mathematics of beats. And it's all in the bizarre ballet between them and the coldness of the melodies. These clicks of static will stick with you for a long while and will keep on rewarding you with each repeated listen. [F.G.]
