Dotflac When Yves De Mey is angry, he must channel it through his alias Grey Branches.

A corrosive asymmetrical techno-directed beast crawls in the depth of this intimidating album, surfacing every so often in abrasive rales and threatening electrical textures forbidding us any escape.

We can still perceive the Belgian's astute sound design behind the throbbing restlessness of Neuroclaps, but in the service of an unsettling aural quake made for the dancefloor enthusiasts tired of the dancefloor. Favorite track: Rushed Corrosion.

about

Inner Surface Music are very proud to present the first album on the label from Grey Branches (Yves De Mey). Neuroclaps LP is a journey into the immersive world of Grey branches, bringing together sounds and influences from techno, jungle, dub, experimental and ambient music.

´Arches´ opens with bass oscillations that swell and build into slow rhythmic patterns with machine grooves, teasing us for what lies ahead. ´Acrylic Hunger´ has stepping drums playing around swung basslines and modular synthesis layering into a pulsating dance floor pressure. ´Bevel´ builds around cavernous textures, laser like drums and analogue riffs. Killer sound design bringing elements of dub and techno together in its own form. ´Rushed Corrosion´ is built for dirty basement clubs, raw synth oscillations weave together creating a wave of tension with the driving power of techno with jungle ideology. ´Automatic Gallows´ slows down the tempo and enters the experimental realms, a slow undulating drum palette meets cosmic spaced out pads before collapsing into a black hole. ´Split Limb´ hits the floor hard with a wall of cold distorted bass, experimental kick drums and rugged rhythms. Syncopated experimental music by nature that remains direct and powerful for the dance floor. ´Rammed´ playful melodic sequences and atmospheric landscapes melt in harmony around broken kick drums and stripped percussion, pulling the listener closer to mesmerise you further. ´Unpaced´ is a short but intense piece of techno experimentation, sharp and delicate rhythms unfold around ethereal layers of noise and textures. ´Neuroclaps´ the title track is a perfect example of the Grey Branches sound. Hard in dynamics, while remaining funky and driving for the dance floor. The sound of early electronica with a unique feel of its own. ´Synthesis Swindle´ closes with deep otherworldly layers of bass, choral pads and sonic artefacts submerging the listener into a state of enchantment.

Bleak Comfort

After having listened to "Drawn With Shadow Pens" many times this new album sounds less chaotic but just as good, if not better. I thought he had quite a grip on his sound design skills already but maybe he was just booting up. Favorite track: It's a tie between "Vecto" and "Contrary Unto Them" 𝖜𝖔𝖗𝖒 𝖒𝖊𝖆𝖑

An ascetic (though mighty) sound palette, works as a canvas for an unrivaled lecture about rhythm generation & composition in electronic music. Straight from the outermost post and beyond the explored areas of this micro universe, from where Yves De Mey sends us back his findings. Now I’m trying to remember what was I doing back in September that prevented me from grabbing this instantly. 𝖜𝖔𝖗𝖒 𝖒𝖊𝖆𝖑

Editions Mego x Sendai = «Purest Nectar». Yves de Mey + Peter van Hoesen... such a delicious mixture among the Edge of Experimental Electronics and the Thresholds of Techno! Highly recommended. Five stars. sjah83
