Kevin Richard Martin - Frequencies for Leaving Earth, Vol​. ​4 (2020)

In praise of overdrive, and seductive distortion
this album presents a sonic love affair with saturation, blown out harmonics and lethal subs.Texture is all…but the
result is bewilderingly more sensual than brutal.

Noise as medication and noise as salvation.. An avalanche of white noise buries submerged melodies, whilst relentless rib/speaker rattling low end frequencies ensure a full body massage is maintained throughout… If anything, this album resembles the huge sonic peaks of Martin's infamous live 'Sirens' shows most

This 10 track collection sounds absolutely massive, overflowing with oceanic swells of undulating riffs and deeply hypnotic pulsations combining to wash away non believers, as walls of drones are as stunning as they are threatening

Blasting off literally, with ‘Dreams of Flight’, which sounds like a dream date for Boards of Canada and Kevin Shields, it sets the seagazing tone for the rest of the album…
From Isolationist storm warnings to fictitious collisions between Flying Saucer Attack and Merzbow, the album
culminates in soothing electronic mantras for these perilous times.
This album is as bewitching as it is totally heavy….
