Ssleeperhold – “Ruleth” – [HoloDeck]

incognito   2/12/2014   12-inch, A Library

Jose Cota, formerly of Medio Mutante makes his solo debut here as Ssleeperhold. This is dark/minimal wave techno, or total shoegaze electronic. Elements of 80s horror films, dated soundtracks, poorly recorded minimal-wave tapes, clanging industrial and martial beats, overprocessed synths give the album a distinctly cinematic, thematic feel. Fans of Dark Entries more electronic releases might dig this a lot.
