With releases on Mysteries of the Deep and NYC cult label, Hospital Productions, Brooklyn techno supplicant Guilt Attendant makes a high-torque entry in the PPRZ catalog with four merciless cuts of functional, psychedelic, high-impact rave rollers.
Guilt Attendant opens with ‘Seasonal Recession’, a cavernous pumping track for cranking the pressure. Slippery, evolving synth jabs creep and echo in an expansive, uneasy soundscape as sharp percussion commands motion and attention.
A true psychedelic weapon, ‘A Callus Of Apathy’ rolls in with rubbery propulsion and smudgy atmospherics, contrasted with Guilt Attendant’s signature precision: razor-sharp percussion that ticks along with a mounting sense of urgency, pushed ever-further when a warping overtone synth worms its ways into the fray.
‘Architecture Of Oppression’ introduces a steady broken-beat bounce slung under a pointillistic rhythm. The track really begins to breathe as an echoing hit interplays with high-register blips, and the wash of patterns begin slipping past each other, sending heads spinning through the fog.
With ‘Gendered Death (Dub)’, Guilt Attendant weaves a jacking, machine-driven ripper, anchored by bouncy, tight chord stabs that are deftly modulated and with keen attention to dynamics.
