“...paranoia as to what is the true nature of events transpired and the violence that threatens the subject because of this ambiguity; our very substance, what kept us together, falls apart,” is how the artist 266sx illustrates the process of crafting the rave of redemption.
A follow up from their 2020 release: SOMOS TU ÚLTIMA ESPERANZA (Ascetic House), rave of redemption is 29 minutes of continuous play. An ensemble high in contrast with unforgiving grit, tapping into the ethereal subconscious and stepping into a time lapse allurement. The heavily stylized 266sx, surgically dissects emotions — in the hope of finding salvation from shattering desperation.

It was a bit too much and samey by the end for me, but if you like dark atmospheres, if you are really interested in sound design or you enjoy the challenge of music that tries to wear you down, you should definitely check this record out.
I loved the echo-drenched drums and percussion and synths and hard to describe sounds on this, but it stays with the same sonic ideas for too long for me to enjoy to try to withstand the harsh wall of sounds minisculebarber
