SØLVE is a solo project of the musician, producer and mastering engineer Brant Showers, half of the cult duo ∆AIMON. Thanks to Re:Mission Entertainment, his debut LP "The Negative" got a reissue treatment, being remastered and released on CD and (for the first time) cassette tape two days ago. Originally issued on French label Audiotrauma in 2016, the album’s core template is a gritty post-industrial sound that morphs throughout "The Negative" by sourcing elements from Brant's signature witch-house beats, unsettling dark ambient, cinematic sound design and noisy drone. It’s a retrospective project that’s both beautifully brutal and strangely captivating. I feel like "The Negative" needs time to grow to fully appreciate it and gets better with each listen, revealing new intricacies along the way (especially with the new remaster).
