The jittering vocal samples and glitches hard-panned to either speaker give a sense of disturbance in each track as well as a feeling of being surrounded, while the squeezed and distorted drums push the song forward. It\u2019s as if you are traversing the matrix. Some of the synthesizers also are reminiscent of the atmospheric Blade Runner synths layered all throughout the movie and the album all together has an underlining retraux feel with a modern twist in the direction of electronic tracks such as Atoms for Peace. The concept is fresh, but the execution doesn\u2019t match its uniqueness.<\/p>\n<p>The high points of this album occur when the female lead vocalist, Irina Bucescu, blares her soft-toned voice above all of the grimy guitars, frazzled square waves, and unorthodox drum patterns. Her voice perfectly accompanies the electrical madness surrounding her. It\u2019s a good listen and has a unique feel, but not a unique sound. I must also mention that track 6 \u201cDimension Dive\u201d is a confusing track that conflicts with the overall image of the album.I\u2019m not sure why they decided to include it, honestly.<\/p>\n<p>If they made another album that separated themselves more from established acts and focused on the \u201csci-fi\u201d elements of their songs, I\u2019d be intensely interested.<\/p>\n<p><b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: Atoms for Peace, Duologue<br \/>\nRecommended Tracks: 4 (Sudden Acts) 2 (Disappearance) 5 (Anima)<br \/>\nDo Not Play: None<br \/>\nWritten by Shane Blair on 04\/10\/2015 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Temple Invisible combines grimy, glitchy synths and drums with dirty guitars and a soft female lead to create a solid, sci-fi sounding album<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":33793,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[182],"tags":[2936,2937,2934,2935],"class_list":["post-33792","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hip-hopelectronic-rotation","tag-enter","tag-ep","tag-shane-blair","tag-temple-invisible"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/a2869240622_2.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33792","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33792"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33792\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33793"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33792"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33792"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33792"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
