No (The Relative Effect of Explication)
Gang of Ducks get weirder with this dispatch of Badalamenti-esque knackered techno from a black hole in Turin, Italy. The rather mysterious XIII offers a tortuous session weaving thru collapsed techno structures and darkside synth zones to numbed EBM trance and '90s ambient indictators across 'No (The Relative Effect of Explication)', before culminating in a series of collaborations with fellow ducks, Sabla, Traag and Vaghe Stelle. The A-side is really special, tripping lines between the kind of Italian industrial ambient feel heavily referenced by Demdike Stare, and a more mutant, knackered fug coming off like a more Lynchian Actress. There are literally hundreds out there doing a similar sound but XIII really nails it here. Likewise, the flipside's collaborations quietly stoke that vibe, sustaining an eerie, clammy atmosphere the crepuscular creep of 'Empires' feat. Sabla, to the curdled chorales of 'Santo' with Vaghe Stelle. Recommended!
