Album Review: Audego - Beneath The Static And The Low

Some xylophone samples and dextrous disc scratching are thrown in for good measure, but this record doesn’t need gimmicks to make a lasting impression.

 

Eerie opening chords immediately strike you with a sense of sonic intrigue, with this second LP collaboration between husband and wife, Big Fella and Paso Bionic, culminating in intricate layers of classically-trained vocals and sketchy beat structures. The entire record's dynamic ebbs and flows with unpredictable riffs and breakdowns, held steady by captivating lyrics, consistent delicate harmonies and rhythms ricocheting off driving basslines.
