M.A.S.P.
Reflections: Drag

There is a weirdness to the way the music of M.A.S.P. sounds, even when the producer isn’t paying attention. For this EP, the artists’ techno and EDM sub-genres are deliberately confused and misrepresented, whose boundaries are blurred and hidden by the droneic textures of the sound.

On “Transient Consciousness” a shadowy figure is pushed into the distance, like a ghostly presence. “Red Herring” is a dark drone that has a dark edge and gapes in its synth textures. The title track comes with a slow, menacing pulse that’s like a broken record playing over and over again to help you navigate its oddities. “Fog” is like a high pitched woodwind, an eerie husk that ends up settling into an extended drone. “Deterioration” is a stuttering, grinding beat that sounds like a drawn out breakdown. The party doesn’t end until the echoing, metallic beat of “Commotion” replicates the feeling of being in an empty club, with the occasional clear, shining synth line brushing up against walls and giving way to electronic pulses.
