...tracks are the main attraction on their new album, Arrhythmia—12 mind-bending pieces machine-scrubbed to freshness. “Dead In Motion” is infested by computer glitches that threaten to tear the song apart as electric squelches and null-lines further the sense of claustrophobia. “Ping Pong” uses, appropriately, the sound of bouncing ping pong balls to accentuate its streamlined boom-bap. “Silver Heat” juxtaposes jazzy scat with fat analog bass, and “Mega” swells suddenly into an awesome Wagnerian...
