‘Lieve’ is the first sign of life from Manchester’s David Ainley, aka Holy Other, since his debut album dropped in 2012 and he promptly appeared to exit stage left, leaving practically no trace of action, save for a 2017 credit on Cashmere Cat’s ‘9’, over the interim. One for the believers Holy Other returns with a loooong awaited slash mythical 2nd album, one decade since his singles and debut LP for Tri Angle dominated our lives circa the short lived but influential w*tch house epoch. It’s not what we expected and all the better for it. Stranger yet, their 8min+ ‘Scatter Point’ exhausts a grittily iridescent triplet loop in uncanny, unyielding fashion reminding to Leyland Kirby’s sorely overlooked ‘Intrigue & Stuff’ series. ‘Red Liminal’ feels like a stressed-out Vainqueur production, with burned-out dub chords slithering thru flickering permutations on the brink of collapse, whilst the ribboning microtonal lead and cranky step of ‘Lower Your Pulse’ almost unmistakably recalls Muslimgauze’s visions, but with the strangely desiccated tang of Shinichi Atobe. Chicago’s Jason Letkiewicz and Misha Khokhlov pursue an elusive machine dub sprite down the wires on Confused House’s five year return from the cold.ĭished up in proximity to Letkiewicz duties in Mutant Beat Dance, the three tracks to ‘Red Liminal’ capture his Coded Forms duo with Khokhlov exploring the limits of their hardware in a mazily etheric sort of dub techno akin to Vainqueur as much as aspects of Muslimgauze or even Leyland Kirby’s Intrigue & Stuff series.ĭelivered replete with rawest crackles and all, the three tracks sound as though scraped from a serotonin-depleted skull.
