DESCRIPTION FROM CRUCIAL BLAST:
It's not often that we pick up records of abstract circuit-bent electronics for Crucial Blast, usually that kind of music doesn't fall within the scope of "heaviness" that we're looking for, but Pareidolia is one of those exceptions, a dark and eerie album of otherworldy electronics and shadowy ambience and fractured rhythms that's somewhere in between the isolationist darkness of Lull, Deathprod and Lustmord and a kind of deformed electronica. Makes sense that this record came out on the SMTG Limited label, also the home to other excellent albums of dark ambience and corroded abysmal bliss from Svarte Greiner, Anduin, Jasper TX, and Xela; Khate's miniature symphonies of dark drones and throbbing looped grooves fit right in with the label's aesthetic. This LP is the first vinyl release from the one-woman project from Virginia, and it features eight tracks of her strange surreal beatscapes that float up from a mysterious nocturnal realm filled with malfunctioning record players, insect sounds, metallic percussion and spectral ambience. Khate's music is both ominous and magical, each track is a collage of fractured trip-hop like beats woven into stuttering hypnotic rhythms, dubby percussion that echoes through vast catacomb passageways, weird robotic voices in distress, looped piano and strings, the chirping and warbling of circuit-bent toys, field recordings, creepy theremin, the even creepier sound of someone whistling off in the distance, bits of abstract electronic glitchery, grim Lustmordian drift, old school synthesizer tones, and deep groaning loops of bottom-end throb that sound like lock grooves on a Lull LP being spun into massive subsonic grooves, the pop and crackle of old vinyl appearing as black flecks over the ghostly broken-down electronica. So cool and creepy and mesmeric, like a series of mutant industrial trip-hop instrumentals crafted on busted turntables and recorded in the middle of a forest under cloak of darkness, a symphony of buzzing electronica, sinister soundtrack music and heavy slow-motion rhythm, like hearing a mix of Magicicada and Deathprod and Autechre laced with minute traces of distorted dubstep buzz. Limited to three hundred copies, and packaged in a silkscreened jacket. © CRUCIAL BLAST
