Ptolyweirds

Released in 2019 as part of their 'A Year of Wreckage' subscription series, Ptolyweirds represents a radical shift for 65daysofstatic. Moving away from the guitar-heavy anthems that defined their early career, this EP leans heavily into IDM, glitch, and techno influences. The four tracks are characterized by intricate, often frantic drum programming and a reliance on modular synthesis. This release followed their work on the No Man's Sky soundtrack, and that influence is visible in the procedural, generative feel of the compositions. Critical reception among the core fanbase highlighted the EP's uncompromising nature, noting that it successfully translated the band's signature 'urgency' into a purely electronic medium. It stands as a bridge between their post-rock roots and their more recent experimental, software-driven projects like 'Decomposition Theory.'
