Kaizo Slumber: How Are We Feeling Today?

The newest Kaizo Slumber album is a switch from atmospheric breaks to digital hardcore, much like Machine Girl’s path from WLFGRL to …Because I’m Young Arrogant and Hate Everything You Stand For. Except this one actually has hardcore song lengths (mostly under 2 minutes), and has more explosive gabber kicks along with the distorted punk shouting and fragmented rave synths. This one beats you up in all the right ways. There’s something mannered and precise about every kick, shout, guitar riff, and compressed breakbeat, but it’s all pumped up in the most energetic way possible, and it moves from idea to idea like a low attention span DJ mix with no lulls. “Galaxy Torimoti” is filled with so much rave ecstasy it shatters your brain. “Kaizo Blunder” is only 4 minutes but feels like an odyssey, culminating in a cleansing noise wash, and then followed by a brief collage of fun effects and bonus beats. Massive recommendation.
