Album Reviews
Once again, Boltfish bring together two artists relatively new to the electronica world; the Israel-based Mise En Scene and dooQ, a British-born artist perhaps more well known for being one half of Soundhacker. It is the Haifa inhabitant who kicks events off with some echoed chimes, a few breakbeats and some disorientating distortion. Furthermore, on standouts 'Yoyo' and 'E.K.P.' his nightmarish, unsettling soundscapes prove there's plenty of mileage in shivery electronic music. dooQ is even more experimental, from the jazz rhythms and elegiac melody of 'Januar' to the minimalist, eerie 'Prowler' before emulating Four Tet on 'Ekaarian' and positing busy, imaginative beats into the finale 'Syfon'. Of the four Tandem releases so far, this must be the darkest one to be heard yet.
