Don't mind me, just wandering Bandcamp again in search of more free stuff. Today's nugget: Eganomixxxxxxxx, another reason not to let artists classify themselves as "experimental"; they're usually anything but.
This eponymous EP is a disjointed collection of experimental electronic music. The first seems to land pretty squarely in the trip hop realm—snappy and dry hip hop drum beats supporting ethereal and echoing keys and vocals, drifting in and out of the picture, while the rest dabble in low electronic bass, in an almost-dubstep way, also with floaty piano and glitchy sounds and synths.
It definitely sounds like the work of someone just starting out, who's not really sure of their own style and are just going with the flow of other popular sounds. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course, but as a single unit, these tracks don't offer a lot of cohesion. It's a good start, and for a free essentially-demo EP it's worth a shot. But I'm not too terribly excited about it.
