PERPETUAL NOW

Armed with a disdain for pastiche and a penchant for
experimentalism, rRoxymore has spent the last decade pushing the
boundaries of what constitutes club music. Across a steady stream
of releases, the Berlin-based artist has continually reinvented her
sound, shifting from hypnotic leftfield techno to UK bass mutations,
genre-eschewing dub oddities and so much more.
On Perpetual Now, her sophomore album, she again displays this
propensity for pushing the sonic envelope. It's a slow-burning
record, and one that blurs the lines between the electronic and the
organic.
Subverting the traditional album format, Perpetual Now is made up
of four extended soundscapes - each taking the listener on a
journey through tempo, texture and emotional state. Downtempo
opener 'At The Crest' gently sets things into motion, allowing the
sparse percussion to tentatively find its feet. 'Sun In C' is a
peculiarly meditative excursion, crafting a rich, intoxicating
atmosphere across its nine minutes. 'Fragmented Dreams', with its
pulsating rhythms and fractured melodies, sees the album fleetingly
burst into life, before 'Water Stain' winds things down in the most
effortless of manners.
A daring, unconventional album, Perpetual Now is everything we've
come to expect and more from one of electronic music's most
unique producers
