Autumn Break Down by clust.r

For fans of Bagel Fanclub, Tirestires, Death’s Dynamic Shroud, those early, vibrant days of the hyperpop movement, and the subliminal voice which guides our thoughts through the algorithm, Autumn Break Down by clust.r filters romantic angst through the lens of online psychosis, all displayed by a completely unique form of experimental electronica. An intense practice of sound collage forms the foundation of the record, staggering arrays of samples propping up a maximalist aesthetic which warps everyday sounds into pounding experimental dance bangers. This conversion of the mundane into an aesthetic juggernaut mirrors our experience of reality through short-form content, with all meaning and emotion supercharged and dramatically dispersed to constantly provide us with contextual whiplash. When we return to confront our personal issues as clust.r proceeds to on this record, we speak in a distorted, scattered voice whose clarity gets constantly challenged by this unregulated inflow of information, making emotions even more difficult to process and making our responses as intense as the cherry-picked insanity on our screens.
