Acridspleen's latest album, Magnetic Tape Degrader, is an impressive work of experimental music. The album is a journey through a variety of soundscapes, ranging from ambient and atmospheric to chaotic and abrasive.
The use of magnetic tape manipulation is a prominent feature throughout the album, adding a layer of texture and depth to the already complex sonic landscapes. The use of field recordings, distorted vocals, and unconventional instrumentation further adds to the album's unique sound.
One standout track is "Tape Decay," which features a haunting melody that slowly disintegrates into a wall of noise. The track is a perfect example of the album's theme of decay and degradation.
