Album Review: Howling - Sacred Ground

Having released a few twelves, Âme’s Frank Wiedemann and The Acid’s Aussie vocalist RY X have produced a long-player.

The duo craft a slick electronic pop record that brings together RY X’s introspective folktronica with the thump and shudder associated with the clubs of Berlin, Wiedemann’s hometown. Singing from the heart, RY X’s soul-searching melancholia effortlessly drifts across a mix of shimmering and strangely organic electronics. The deep, bass bottom end seemingly prevents his vocals from completely floating into outer space. This collision of elegant folksy songwriting and dreamy electronica comes together to produce fresh interesting results.
