Granted: you stay on The glow at the bottom of the platethe debut of the Brazilian project, which was only founded in 2023 and comprises two long tracks (and is available for free via Bandcamp). Aninha Ansiedade and her Phantom Bandfirst of all because of the artwork.

Also behind has The glow at the bottom of the plate but enough charms to fascinate with its unoriginal sound collage melange of Dark Ambient, Death Industrial and drone set pieces, although it is precisely in the first piece, which is almost 16 minutes long the shineeverything still seems a bit half-baked improvisation, because the seams between the individual passages, segments and ideas do not really flow into one another, but often change the soundscape too abruptly – sometimes as a sinister scraping stroboscope that cryptically engulfs itself in the abysmal intoxication, discovered a suspended rhythm there, whose quirky groove that eventually emerges dives through the ominous dreariness and digs through post-industrial futurism in the dust, minimalist electro-pop reduction in the spherical lo-fi ambience transcends and sizzling radiators with speech samples like field recordings in a wind tunnel -Terminal lets you draw imaginative pictures.

A scenic changeling whose moments might easily have been more fully explored. Especially since the one that was shorter at 13 minutes at the bottom of the plate also demonstrated that Aninha Ansiedade and her Phantom Band not only be able to do the patchwork, but also understand how to work more holistically. Out of the destructive delusion, psychedelic lava lamps turn on in the sedative fever dream, fade in slow motion, like enchanted ones Animal Collective in a fairytale sound painting, shifting their frequencies over brief inklings of acoustic pop nuances to a dystopian symphony abyss beyond Blade Runner to be found in the art house, where the deeply effective volume gives birth to bulbous noise. The silting up final point that comes out of nowhere with a grumbling bass gloom is to be understood almost with a wink. But even more, she makes you want more – you can assert the puppy protection and round up if you are between the points.
