Refresh by Faster Detail

Faster Detail is the solo project of sound disciple and master Alex Chesney, who over the years has explored terrain in classic hardware acid (see his excellent 2014 "Chance Cube" 12" on HR), noise, dream pop (Ashrae Fax, Gam Spun), and mapped his own territory with a hermetic, cybernetic sound design-heavy dubstep-influenced leftfield take on club music. This album is the apotheosis of the latter endeavor, a disorienting psychedelic collage of avant-EDM futuresound featuring some of the heaviest metallic synth sounds on record, expressive electronic vocalizations, and heavily manipulated found sound with a feverish quality suited to a humid summer day, mastered for maximum loudness, falling somewhere between a gritty deconstruction of contemporary mainstream club music and it's natural furthest-flung conclusion.
