Conor Thomas's The Death Of Rave label charges back into the spotlight with a second release from Northern sound designer Rian Treanor, and it's every bit as destructive and mind-bending as the rest of the label's catalogue. The opener "Pattern A1" is a jarring storm of harsh sonics bound together by a sharp string of distortion, while "Pattern A2" manages to create a rhythm out of disparate, minimal tribal percussion. On the flip of this nutty 12", "Damage B1" gets lively and picks up the pace thanks to a gorgeous myriad of chords and pulsating beats, leaving "Damage B2" to wallow in a sea of aqueous, dubby chords and sporadic kicks. Excellent quality gear right here.
