Some wholesome stuff for misanthropist is coming from Finnish label Some Place Else, who decided to issue a collection of cheeky sketches of a mad sound tumbler, who's going to delight both Tigerbeat-like stuff and psychotropic sonic stimulations close to 8-bit diggers' soups with the habit of hooking that kind of musical jolts normally associated to notorious names such as the one of Venetian Snares. To be honest, Aprox, nome de plume of the young Finnish composer Julius Valve also known as MR:HC or just Human Chocolate, pierces the listener's space by bringing his prick punch to a red hot on different furnaces. The ferocious introduction, a frenzied From Avanto With Love remix (!) of a track entitled Elbow Knock you're going to hear later, acts (more properly than the original version) as the title suggests through a boiling caldron whereas electromechanical compressed samples, electronic convulsive hiccough (close to the one you can extract when recording the buzzes while short-circuiting the board of a drum machine!), precedes Tissues and Candles, a sort of morbid lullaby built on pitch adjusting of a carillon-like sequence, while the following track, Responsability, walks on the impassable path of industrial and breakcore, slightly alter its own course in the scratching industrial hip-hop in the following Skincrawler (featuring Pedigree, a young and very interesting band by Holden Laamann and Taavi Aavik, armouring the sound of this EP with a course provokative and appreciated tone who could remind the sound of bands such as Swamp Terrorists), letting appear on the surface the sound of many innovative beat-makers. After the banque of noisy jumps on 3-tone sequence of the above-mentioned Elbow Track (a sort of ideal sonic rendez-vous between Autechre, Ab ovo and Negativland I enjoyed a lot), wheres a sort of melody resurface in a more audible way than the initial remix, Julius proposes a plain lulling rockish track, Darkest Days, featuring Roy Boswell, Emily Boswell and a sampled hen, turned into chicken into the recording studio! As the cover artwork by Bon Jarno seems to suggest, it's like Aprox puts a finger into your pavilion before licking it!
