about

Though previous efforts as Interstitia saw Graham Scala moving away from the more aggressive guitar-based music he's made with bands like Bleach Everything, Forensics, and Souvenir's Young America in favor of a spacier, more textural electronic approach, his newest full-length Hermes Slips The Trap pushes that methodology to a bracing, intense extreme in which radiant ambient synth textures are overlaid upon frantic, in-the-red breakbeats then shredded by disorienting psychotropic noise textures. Songs bend and contort in ever-mutating forms, leaving an end product as frenetic and dizzying as it is ecstatic and expansive.

Like Four Tet playing a Providence basement show or Blanck Mass on a Black Dice kick, Hermes Slips The Trap immerses the listener in an overwhelming sound world in which consonance and dissonance cling so tightly as to be indistinct from each other and ideas like genre seem quaint and inapplicable.
