LIFEFORMS Vinyl & CDs

Review: Emerging from Glasgow's ever-thriving underground, Lifeforms make a strong debut here and offer up a fierce fusion of gritty acid and synth-fuelled electro. Crafted entirely with raw hardware, these tracks overflow with DIY spirit and machine soul. Each cut channels the intensity of basement sessions and industrial textures, all grounded in pure analogue energy and mastered by Dutch West Coast legend Alden Tyrell. 'Mindtrip is one of our favourites with its gritty low end, distorted bass and rasping synth patterns all so tactile you feel like you could reach out and grab them.
