Wehwalt - Lhomme Servile A La Machine

Review by Thomas Erdtsieck

The album Lhomme Servile A La Machine by Wehwalt is a mesmerizing journey into the world of experimental electronic music. The French artist has created a unique sound that blends elements of glitch, ambient, and industrial music to create a sonic landscape that is both hypnotic and unsettling.

The album opens with the track "Le Temps Des Machines," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. The glitchy beats and atmospheric synths create a sense of unease that is carried throughout the album. Wehwalt's use of samples and field recordings adds an organic element to the otherwise electronic soundscape.

Tracks like "L'homme Machine" and "Tension" are prime examples of Wehwalt's ability to create complex rhythms and textures that keep the listener engaged. The use of distorted vocals on "L'homme Machine" adds an eerie quality to the track, while the driving beat of "Tension" creates a sense of urgency.

The album closes with "La Fin Du Monde," a haunting track that feels like the perfect ending to this dark and moody record. Wehwalt's use of drones and feedback adds a sense of foreboding that leaves the listener feeling unsettled long after the music has stopped.

Summary by Thomas Erdtsieck

Lhomme Servile A La Machine is a captivating album that showcases Wehwalt's talent for creating immersive and challenging electronic music. It's not an easy listen, but for those willing to take the journey, it's a rewarding one.
