Lo Flux dynamo Terabyte had a huge week with reviews of her new EP "¥€$".
Indie zine giant The Big Takeover said "Being inspired by the idea of possession, whether it be by machine, alien, or spirit, the idea that there is something much bigger than us out there, something that may be controlling our destinies and our behaviors, either directly, or indirectly is of much interest to her and a common theme throughout her music.
The emotional value she derives from dreams and the dreamscape mood is what inspires her, alongside the complexity of real life. Many dreams have key visual elements with deep emotions attached, and this is the realm she enjoys —experiencing her realities and creating a sonic world with her dreams."
Terabyte and Lo Flux Sludge Gods Dirty Dirty were both reviewed at Artist Home by Tony Kay. Of Terabyte's new EP, Kay says "The EP’s two highlights dwell between those bookends. The midtempo vibe of “Nobody Else” shifts from a spare, alien-soulful backbeat to a robo-reggae shuffle. And “Hackaboy” bolsters its retro synth sounds and imaginative harmonies with soaring cartoon crescendoes. Fans of Little Dragon’s continental brand of exotic electronica will find a ton to love here."
Kay reviewed Dirty Dirty's recent Den Tapes release "Emotional Whatever Things", saying "The band’s sound is well-served on this recent Den Tapes release. 'Emotional Whatever Things' is a blast of ripsaw anger that careens through its minute and 52 seconds like a school bus plummeting down a ravine. “The Ladder” hurtles post-punk mud and shrapnel at a re-recording of one of the band’s early tracks, and Forester’s operatic vocals turn their cover of PJ Harvey’s “Oh My Lover” into an epic gutter-metal anthem. The band’s full-length debut is reportedly around the bend, and if it’s anywhere near this exhilarating, it’ll be one hell of a ride.
