DEMONS - EVOCATION (CD)

"Consisting of Nate Young (Wolf Eyes) and Steve Kenney, Demons explore near-epileptic fits of droning synth textures that elicit comfortable remembrances of electronic-obsessed forefathers like Stockhausen and Cluster whilst simultaneously bludgeoning forward with the grating and scraping atonal complexities of Whitehouse and Throbbing Gristle. The four pieces here fixate into an almost narrative concoction, forming an abstract portrait that feeds its murky sonics into perplexing vibrations that force one forth into their path just as much as they delight in crafting intriguing unease. With artwork contributed by the duo's frequent visual collaborator Alivia Zivich, Evocation, which happens to be Demons' first CD release, is as apt a proper declaration as any, seamlessly crafting their steady and intricate synth-scapes with the darkly psychedelic images such creations naturally elicit within the psyches of attentive devotees."
