Formication - Agnosia [Harmful Records - 2007]

This new ep from dark electrionca duo Formication really shows them making thier sound denser, deepen and more unnerving. It also  finds them removing a lot of the  clichéd & straight forward beat patterns that littered their last full length  & replace them with more complex and deviant ones.

Though you can still hear hints of others work it seems to be getting less and less with their own dark and hallucinogenic electronic identity coming to the fore. The tracks often feel like look into darkly deranged and macabre  magic eye pictures, the closer you listener the more unnerving and down right creep elements appear to ones ear. I guess if you were to make comparison you'd could say Coil around black light district album, or the  sinister audio texturing of Boards of Canada’s Geogaddi, but there’s enough dark and malignant musically personality here to let it stand sinister in the Connor on it’s own

A consistent and effective excise in dark and dense beat making that really slows this project is starting to swim more and more in their own dark waters.
