Penelopes Fiance - The Cutting Edge Of A Knife - [Vinyl]

Having previously released a slew of tapes on labels such as Clan Destine Records and Live Adult Entertainment, Penelope's Fianc� lands on Hypermedium for his vinyl debut. Hailing from Stavroupoli, Thessaloniki, Penelope's Fianc� has been keeping over the past few years a fast pace of work, constantly producing tracks and releasing new music, having shaped a unique sound that drifts across the borders of lo-fi, post-industrial and fuzzy techno. The Cutting Edge Of A Knife is the culmination of all these previous excursions, a solid display of his ability to craft emotionally intense tracks, merging a ghostly, gloomy grandeur with squelching percussive patterns. Opener Lethe emerges from the haze with its cryptic atmosphere, moulded in lethargic drones, scattered vocalisms and sparse yet piercing beats and rhythmic build-ups. A panic-fuelled, 160bpm ravey epic, Futile Endevours brandishes an ecstatic, pumelling rhythm over recurring trance- flavored melodic phrases and unnerving vocal samples. I Wasn't Always There is a seductive, dark elegy whose melancholic and lush synth melodies wash over chopping kicks and ice-cold hi-hats. Anxiety sounds like a slow techno roller, where frozen metallic percussion meets a cavernous bass, right before the off-kilter, cacophonous buzz of The Lie Closest To The Truth . Closing track The Cutting Edge Of A Knife is an intoxicated oriental-stepper, soaked in vaporous middle-eastern percussion and muezzin-like chants.
