I'm gonna stan this dude until I die. Surprise new album from CRAVE on Paso Inferior Tapes. Six tracks of otherworldy drones, static hiss and harsh trap underpinned by desolate bass structures and visceral synths. Narrated by heavily processed vocals, John managed to create here an unauthorized soundtrack to the grittiest and most dangerous alleyways of the dystopian Los Angeles from Blade Runner. Think of The Body's "I Shall Die Here" collab with Haxan Cloak but filtered through Vangelis retro-futurist atmospheres. Sci-fi snuff album for all the sewage mutants, techno punks and replicant outcasts. Incredible.

The druggyness especially in the last track reminds of Download's (ex-Skinny Puppy) 1996 classic The Eyes of Stanley Pain.
