InFX - Consume Your Own Identity (2020)

Almost two years down the line from his debut on Gost Zvuk, one of Russia's most prominent labels of today, Moscow's INFX appears on Klammklang with another outlandish take on electronic music's current zeitgeist in Consume Your Own Identity.

With his background as visual artist, it feels like INFX is treating the acoustic space in the same three-dimensional fashion using sound as a more tangible agent to explore the effects of attention and anticipation. The moment you start to perceive this music as a peculiar sonic sculpture inside your brain, it turns into a spatio-temporal whirlwind. Patterns fall apart and the amusing sound you just discovered in between rhythms gets immediately dissolved in yet another disruptive timbre. You expect things to happen, but they prefer not to. Sometimes it causes vertigo, but the whole experience is like the most fabulous roller coaster ride one can imagine. Existing on the margins of various electronic music genres, Consume Your Own Identity is not about the frustrated expectation, but the primal expression. Rich in textures and frequencies, focused on dynamics it's not abstract at all. It's corporeal as f**k.
