3 years after "(insensé)", SONIC AREA comes back with "Explore" and takes the listener on a disturbing and involving exploratory journey to the dark corners into an epic complex cinematographic phantasmagoria of the human psyche. A personal organic dusty warm sound remote island universe made of sampling, cutting, audio manipulation and collages of masterfully chosen and assembled samples, permeated by haunting noises, minimal melodies and impacting ethnic percussion. Everything sounds as if it has been compressed, distorted, dipped in acid and scratched with sandpaper but with particular attention to all frequencies of the audio spectrum. In this mysterious whole, between electronica and industrial, things are not quite what they seem. Lost in details, the listener is not sure anymore of what is actually really hearing. Therefore it’s only for the musically mind adventurous.
Imagine yourself sleeping in a lost factory built over sacred Indian burial grounds.
