GOLDEN PRINTS

Revered techno balladeers Saschienne present a gorgeous set of synth-driven, beat-bound soundscapes rich in atmosphere and suspense. Golden Prints smudges the volatile fault lines between anthemic electronics, cyber folk, and industrial drones. "Chambre Bleue" is a dusty, introspective vignette with an increasingly queasy mood balanced by Julienne Dessagne's self-assured narration and an unswerving bass line. "The Era of the Leopard" treks through barren lands with sunburnt guitar licks, throbbing bass, and resonant leads. "Don't Put Your Fingers in the Socket" is an exquisite arrangement of contorted feedback loops, foreboding synth sequences, and a relentlessly mechanical beat.
