Ital - Hive Mind

2012 debut from Daniel Martin-McCormick AKA Ital. Hive Mind uses House's easygoing 4/4 structure as a kind of camouflage for more out-there sonic explorations, subverting expectations, seeking the links between Dub's space and sound-bending, Industrial's unsettling sonics and the effects and black holes of Minimal at it's weirdest. The album has a sculptured feel: sounds twist in space while melodies pitch-shift in an unsettling way, voices fade in and out, nothing is ever allowed to settle comfortably, everything vibrates.
