Jute Gyte - Dialectctics [Jeshimoth Entertainment - 2015]Over the last few years this Missouri based one man project has become most know & respected for it’s for it’s rather distinctive, often angular ,odd time signatures lined, & unbalancing polyrhythm based back metal. But for Dialectctics the sound setting is a blend of off- balancing & often bleakly moody electrioncia/IDM. The pro CDR release takes in ten tracks, and each runs between four & eight minute mark. These are a heady & off-kilter blend of slurred & un-well beats, angular sound textures, all underfed by hauntingly atmospheric synth/ ambient drifts. I guess if you can a imagine a blend of slowed & woozy Autechre, Coil at their more electronic ’n’ abstract, and moody, wonky yet feasting ambience & off-colour electronica you get a idea of what to expect here. The whole album feels quite soundtrack like in it’s unfold, and I could well imagine it been used as the sonic backing to a very strange & arty Sci-fi film about the mixing of aged & malfunctioning technology with organic & natural elements in the distant future. The tracks here were written over a two year period between 2012 & 2014, and each track mangers to present its own distinctive sounds & textures- yet there is a uniformed & consistent album feeling running through-out the whole thing. I guess the album gets slight more abstract & unhinged with each new track, and at the mid way point the album feels more nocturnal & beat-less, before returning to more unwell & slurred beat bound tracks in it’s last few tracks. In summing up Dialectctics is a most consist & well- convinced collection of moody & Off-kilter electrioncia/ IDM, and would as perfectly soundtrack for reading strange & unhinged Sc-fi. Roger Batty
