Egyptrixx 'Pure, Beyond Reproach' (Halocline Trance)

Canadian Egyptrixx makes hugely conceptual music: he seems to imagine a distant world then makes them come to life with sound. His four previous LPs have envisoned eerie interplanetary landscapes and post-apocalyptic metropolises, but here he goes deep underwater. The 10 tracks are littered with microbial bacteria, droplets that rain down the face of reflective chords and synths that shoot through the arrangements like beams of light in deep waters. It’s hallucinogenic and ravey, retro yet futuristic, and the whole thing has a bright, translucent glow. There are no beats, just dynamic peaks and troughs, and the hugely textural and evocative results are unsettling yet absorbing. Kristan J Caryl

8/10
