Dilatedears: Dinner in the Cave of Veils

Dilatedears: Dinner in the Cave of Veils

A pretty neat surprise I discovered late in the year. This guy is in Nerfbau who have released music on Placenta Recordings, and this is the Dilatedears project’s debut release for that label. Kind of slurpy, fuzzy IDM/micro-glitch-hop, maybe like Push Button Objects or other Chocolate Industries type artists from the early ’00s. Has a bit of a low-tech, homemade feel to it. It’s definitely basement/bedroom CDR-label IDM, not the type of more polished/mastered stuff a bigger electronic label would release, but really nice if you’re into this sort of thing. Miniaturized Drexciyan melodies and slivered beats, fuzzy synth-bass, and a few more glitched-out elements (the scrambled phone voice on “Voicemail_Measure”, the stuttering backwards waves of “ThrowingtheRobe”). Last few tracks get a bit more pretty/melodic/affecting. A nice stuck-at-home winter album. On Bandcamp, you know what to do.
