“Epic Chillwave”
Drift into the void and never surface: Willebrant conjures slowed-and-reverb dreamscapes of electric bass and ebow guitar for the somnolent, while The Primary Phase Principle builds a dark electronic mythology around humanity enslaved to a colossal forgotten machine — continued in the chilling sequel Collapse Of The Sightless Age. SMIC offers quiet, heavy alt-indie clarity from the wreckage, Jussi Laasonen charts ethereal cosmos-bound ambience, and Vükland descends heavy doom-ambient depths with the mantra "as above, so below."
