Morph

Šmu

"The debut album from Croatian electronic artist šmu is a highly atmospheric, conceptual work. Pulling from myriad influences to impart a feeling of occult delirium, 'morph' flows as one piece separated into 6 tracks, incorporating elements of glitch, vapor, orchestration and even breakcore. A sublime meld of cinematic grandeur and nocturnal electronic grooves, 'morph' arrives in perfect compliment to the ominous air of autumn. Experimental in composition and cinematic in its environmental sound design, 'morph' is also decidedly musical, moving from sparse, articulate arrangements sewing dread and tension to rave-infused, ritualistic, hard-hitting electronic. šmu strikes a compelling sensory experience in their synthetic, mechanical textures and application of bitcrushed distortion and disorienting modulation effects. 'morph' is a sonic journey, recounting one's transformation from false bliss to eye-opening madness . . . can you find yourself within the palette presented here?" 🡡 description by Daniel Rauch 🡡
