Extremities

Known for his venturesome take on industrial music, Philadelphia's Noah Anthony - member of the wrenching experimental outfits Form a Log and Social Junk - adds a more straightforward tone to his discography. Jumping from jerky, filtered, beat-driven tunes to more hostile, squeaky pieces, Extremities highlights the clash between convulsive rhythms and spasmodic sounds, hammering and twisting the tempo through unforgiving techno grooves. It's impassive development sees him stretching opposites from one end to the other by confronting classic club themes in daring, raw rhythmic experiments. As grotesque as it is confident; a contemporary look at modern electronic music.
