London based italian producer Giordano Fiacchini, also known for his grime alter-ego Luru, drops his second ep under the Bangalore moniker on OOH-sounds.
Artistically born-and-raised under Burialʼs influence, Bangalore builds his new work 'Here Comes the Rain' using a vivid and organic sonic palette mainly built on processed field recordings and drastically pitched samples. Like in a sort of a travelogue, the seven tracks seem to meander through fictional jungle scenarios buried in a digital haze. Light vs dark, solid vs liquid, abstraction vs concreteness, present vs past - through a game of dramatic contrasts the album depicts a melancholic though artificial atmosphere, a sort of future-nostalgia. Being a drummer and a big metal fan in his early teens, Bangalore intricately lays these humid and hazy soundscapes on solid clear-cut drum beats, sculpting rhythmical patterns to shape a sort of modern primitivism. Tracks are topped with pitched vocals and dreamlike melodies, reminiscent of ancient tribal chants. A work that feels mature, articulated, structured, and affecting.
