I guess I would fall in with the ranks of those new listeners who'll be
awed at how this band slipped past them before… and sure enough, one
song in, and its unlike anything I've heard, yet from all I've read and
heard about this eclectic duo that makes up Project Pitchfork, I
expected excellence. And from what I'm hearing so far on their new
release, they're primed to deliver it.
Their first release in three
years, but a recognizable name in the Industrial/Goth circles for over
ten years running, epitomizes the best historical elements of early
Sisters' with the fervent techno beats of a Kraftwerk, maybe a Front
242, and apply to the entire mix a wall of atmospheric and emotive sound
and rapturous ambient textures.
Known for their lyrical intelligence as
much for their technical innovations, the same holds true here only in a
less sociological setting, this time more inner personal but still with
the deepest admiration for a heightened use of the senses. While the
lyrical spillover moves into the sharp melodies and swooning percussive
effects that echo forth a generous parallel of romanticism and elegance,
there is an almost diabolical force clearly at work behind the
scenes -- all at once you're engulfed in fear, dread, longing, sorrow and
joy. It's as if some unforeseeable entity rose up without warning and
infected you at just the right moment to reveal the often untapped
resources we often overlook in day to day life… a spiritual presence
that illuminates the night but there's surely a master technician at
work behind the dim light and cloud cover of this aural mystique simply
known as "Daimonion."
