::DISCO2

A high-voltage collision of industrial noise and club-ready electronics. Breathy, ethereal vocals float over jagged, bit-crushed percussion and neon-soaked synths.

June 22, 2010 · Lovepump United

This album feels like a digital nervous system being overloaded by a high-speed data transfer. It is a brilliant exercise in contrast, where the band's signature breathy, almost angelic vocals are pitted against a landscape of jagged industrial noise and punishing club rhythms. The remixes here do not just add a beat; they deconstruct the source material until it feels like a transmission from a rain-slicked, dystopian future. It is music for the urban night, capturing the specific anxiety of being surrounded by millions of people while feeling completely isolated.

Moments Worth Listening For

The way the Tobacco remix of 'Die Slow' melts the original's aggression into a hazy, psychedelic synth-sludge.

The sudden transition into the Crystal Castles remix of 'Eat Flesh' where the bit-crushed lead cuts through the mix like a blade.

The closing track 'USA Boys' providing a rare moment of melodic clarity amidst the surrounding sonic debris.
