Your Silent Face’s second release – the first on his own label Tethys Records – continues the deep, brooding techno trajectory set by his first track on Fiedeltwo, ‘A Place Where Arms Bend Backwards’. Title track Red Rain is urgent yet considered: subtle acid lines swirl and build against bright defined percussion while the bassline builds towards infinity. It reveals YSF’s inspirations from Motorik music, early industrial bands like Nitzer Ebb and deep techno heroes including Sandwell District and Rrose.
Kleinian Transform takes techno to a place where Georgio Moroder meets Front 242 and Basic Channel, creating robotic space-tracks with dub disco melodies, insistent bassline and mighty crescendos. It’s a late night dancefloor track influenced by DJ Hell and Francois K, but equally by Coil and New Order.
Scorched Earth closes the ‘Red Rain’ EP with a post–apocalyptic melancholy, a soundscape which nods to Kraftwerk and Boards of Canada. This is the track YSF wants you to hear at the end of times, recalling the blistering winds of post-nuclear fallout: darkly spacious, with a questioning melody.
The EP was mastered by Keith Tenniswood at Curvepusher.
