At the risk of engaging in a little nepotism (all the more apparent by the fact that one of these tracks contains a sample of, and is named for, my children), I feel compelled to review the latest from my dear friend, and sexiest noise lady I know, Khate.
Therapy is a bold endeavor from an artist known for a level of creative perfectionism that borders on the manic and obsessive. Encapsulating the array of styles for which she is renowned, Khate has severed the bonds of possession and let slip a daunting invitation into the domains over which she reigns. Less a cohesive snapshot of a particular mood, and more a cross-section of the work that leads us to this release, Therapy delivers the gamut of experimental music: from arrhythmic and atonal soft noise to synthesized, glitchy minimal IDM. All of this accomplished with her trademark ensemble of circuit-bent instruments and accoutrements.
The audacity of Khate’s abandon can be felt throughout the album and, at an unprecedented 17 tracks, any fan of the genre can find something to enjoy in this release.
[Rating:4.5/5]
