Hauntologists vinyl

German duo Hauntologists have been doing their thing since the late noughties, occasionally delivering (largely self-released) 12" singles of atmospheric, bubbling techno in a typically Teutonic style. Here, they unleash their debut full-length, a nine-track assault that subtly pulls in different directions through. So, they treat us to the warm and organic shuffle of "Hush", the bleep-heavy wonkiness of "Wistful", a chunk of after-party minimal ("Suspend"), and a cowbell-heavy blend of Drexciya-style electro and Berghain-ready chug ("Turned"). Throughout, the pair's devotion to texture and atmosphere shines through, making Hauntologists a particularly potent excursion.
