Statiqbloom and Blush Response join forces for the six-track vinyl LP “Folding In“ on HANDS that ventures into innovative yet highly engaging sonic terrain. Instead of merely relying on straightforward techno beats, this release twists and contorts rhythm into something unpredictable, merging heavily processed vocals with layers of darkness and obscurity—while still maintaining a strong physical impact.
Two well-known names in the techno underground, US-raised artists Statiqbloom and Blush Response not only share common influences in EBM and industrial music, but they have also both contributed to the resurgence of these genres with a distinctly contemporary, experimental approach. Both projects utilize analog synths and hardware setups and create beat driven travels through dark electro territories and harsh walls of sound. As a result of this merger, “Folding In” draws upon facets of timeless musical traditions yet never succumbs to mere nostalgia – it deconstructs and reimagines, forging something innovative and uniquely unsettling. Stripping away conventions, the duo reveals a rawer, more enigmatic core, thus challenging expectations and embracing the obscure, a realm where shadows whisper and sound collapses inward. Only 300 hand-numbered copies on blood red vinyl, plus digital download – time to act!
