i frequently complain about the dead arts scene in detroit, but i do bump into something interesting once in a while, only to have it disappear or collapse almost immediately. everything in detroit is like this; you have to catch it quick before it evaporates, or otherwise gets shut down, because it doesn't tend to come back or reappear. and, the city, despite it's immense size, is in truth so amazingly small; if you spend time here, you'll bump into the same few dozen people over and over again, whether you happen to like those people or not.
i've skipped this act a few times, mostly because it doesn't sound conducive to an exciting live performance. if it shows up in the right context, i'm sure i'll end up there, but the truth is that this might never happen. while this is music that may work in a specific kind of glow room in the midst of a saturnalia orgy or something, the truth is that most people are probably going to want to interact with it through a pair of headphones rather than in an auditorium. there is a mix of 80s and contemporary influences on the disc - i can pull out specific references to coil and gang gang dance - but what's more noteworthy on the record is it's attention to detail, which is something that you want in electronic music, but that you don't often get.
she's quite young, which is becoming the norm in what i'm finding; this generational overturn is long overdue, but it may be finally here. that is, we're finally starting to hear some more forward thinking music from younger people, rather than this continual recycling of retro ideas and obsolete fashion. so, the real suggestion here may be that there's some potential displayed on the record, and you want to check in on this space a little later.
but, analyzing this for what it is, it's a more than competent delve into somewhat ambient contemporary techno, and worth a few plays on the bus.
