An exhilarating of sampling, laptop electronica, glitch pop, and hip-hop.

On this mostly instrumental EP, Dirge trudges along with heavy drums and mellow guitar and a bit of grief.

Unapologetically harsh at times, it’s not particularly pleasant stuff, but for what it is, it’s really quite good.

As lovely as Atone’s sounds are, there’s a sense that the songs lack a real focus.

I’m left curious as to where they might go from here.

The word pleasant sums up this CD quite nicely — and I mean that in every good way imaginable.

Melodium attempts to take purely electronic arrangements and make them sound organic and natural.
