NOMUZIC:
Notes about the Man (DDL on Audiofile)

"This release from 2014 features 70 minutes of dystrophic technopop.

Electronics and e-perc conspire with dire vocals to craft dark technopop designed to appeal to an unhappy audience.

The electronics tend to be peripheral to slippery keyboards that resound from a nocturnal source. At times the keys delineate layers of shimmering drones; at other times the keys express a ethereal fog that shimmers with a molten threat; while on another occasion the keys adopt an almost off-key shrill resonance that shudders with a graveyard attitude.

E-perc provides an often ponderous locomotion for these dire tunes. The beats are spry, the rhythms possessed of a clenched-jaw determination. Frequently there's a dirgelike touch to the beats.

Echoey vocals croon out lyrics expressing the sentiments of the disenfranchised, people trapped in isolation amid the crowd and seething with rage over their positions. In one track, a secondary vocal thread accompanies the lead voice with a subterranean timbre. Countering this, another song features squeaky childlike vocals.

Synthetic horns adorn one track with their mournful blaring.

These compositions explore a realm of darkside technopop dedicated to evoking churlish temperaments among the listeners. The tunes are often peppy and lively, but this agility is seasoned by a cynicism that goes beyond goth, deeply exploring a zone typified by a sneering antisocial demeanor."
