Vinyl Club #16: Lorn "Ask The Dust"






From the sputnik music 2013 album review by Alkemest:

"Review Summary: A disorienting parade of paranoia."

"Ultimately, Lorn has managed to create an album which almost perfectly captures the sense of claustrophobia. With its cold, dark, almost mechanical production, it manages to pull its listeners through a transcendent electronic experience.

"I can't say that this album is enjoyable, per se, but I can say that I absolutely enjoyed it. If you like easily digestible electronic music, this is definitely not the album for you.

"Everything about it reeks of negativity, but by the end, I can't help but feel uplifted.

"It is however, not without its flaws. While it capably manages to create an experience, it can feel a bit repetitive at times. I know that it's part of what makes it such a good album, but I also can't help but feel that a bit of variation would have been a good move.

"For such an experimental album, it would seem that it could have pushed just a bit farther.

"On the whole, I would highly recommend this album to anyone interested in dark electronic, or just plain old dark music in general."
