Revews

"Brisbane, Australia soloist who creates an odd sort of overloaded electronic music, ripe with suppressed melody, overtly cascading harmonics and sometime thuggish way of handling drones. This was recorded in San Francisco and it has a really unusual mix of elements - the percussive sounds are about ass rhythmic as an apple-drunk horse and the key drones really start to resemble tinnitus more than anything else. Which is a pretty hep achievement. Glamorous, even." - WIRE

"Below The Dead Ones is an album-length cassette, consisting of four tracks that refine the drone elements of their music, but are saved from self-indulgence by adding tremulous Wagnerian chord progressions to a number like ‘Urine Mote’. Like a darker, starker Fuck Buttons, AXXONN understand the value of anchoring their tunes with structure rather than letting themselves be seduced by all the wayward sounds their chosen technology is capable of producing. They employ subtlety and repetition and subliminal bass pulses to draw listeners into their world. The result is a masterpiece of its genre." - MESS+NOISE
