It’s an album of extremes. On one hand, you have “Corn Mouth” and “Peek 82454201”—tracks that are all fractured 160bpm drum edits, blipping synth stabs, and a complete refusal to settle into a groove. They’re the sound of ADHD in binary code. On the other, you have “Fingerbib,” a track of such gentle, wonderstruck beauty it could score a sunrise in a Miyazaki film. Lush, detuned synth pads float over a soft, lopsided beat. It’s the sound of a hyperactive genius sitting quietly in a garden.

Celebrated for its warm, glowing synth lines and glowing melodies. "Carn Marth" Showcases heavy, complex drum programming. "To Cure a Weakling Child"

Not just an essential electronic album. An essential human album. 10/10.

he used to create those specific glitch sounds, or should we look at the visual legacy of that famous cover art?
