The debut cassette from Serbia's Draeil, presents various soft synth based collages of improvised live recordings, from different time periods using strictly hardware — Perfect Aesthetics 2017
AEST-017
«Another sleeper release arrived on the heels of the recent re-awakening of the (already intriguing) electronic scene in Subotica; a supergroup of vinyl junkies, electronica luminaries and all-around stellar conjuction of Attila Ábrahám (wb41), Denis Glavčić (Alg0rh1tm) and Krisztian Vasas (Graphplan) have recorded their first cassette for Russian label Perfect Aesthetics. It was quite a refreshing echo of 80’s industrial and ambient cassette culture and a analog electronic wonder to behold (no poseur hardware music to be found here).
Drawing from different influences, such as early electronics, experimental tape music, IDM and (scandinavian) dark ambient, they have pieced together a compilation of their slightly edited recording sessions, with Attila being in charge of the melodic parts and ambient soundscaping, Denis taking care of the subliminal rhythms and Krisztian adding more noisy textures and samples. Most tight cuts are V, quite an unexpected exploration of sampled brass melody in the midst of looped synthscaping, I, as a ominous, high-tension ambient venture, while the rest of this release has traces of WB41’s dabbling with progressive electronics and Berlin School sound (III) and the more experimental action emerges during noisier and more surreal action with cinematic sampling (VI)» — Pop Scotch
