varboska - chimera

runtime: 29:28

On 'chimera', the latest album from the Croatian electronic producer, varboska adopts on a new tumultuous dimension to their sound. Rendered with pristine craft into gorgeous, evocative IDM, it retains their gift for precise, otherworldly acoustic design. 'chimera' mutates upon varboska's characteristic style in exhilarating fashion throughout, an album distinctly more mangled for its use of distortion, glitch and driving rhythm, assuming a more fraught emotional average than works past.

Pummeling techno grooves and even a dash of breaks for added percussive impact all elevates the intensity of 'chimera' to a new high that fans of varboska's work prior will surely savor. Yet, amidst all this energy remains an ethereal delicacy, a contemplative air that runs vast, permeating these compositions with a vibrancy and emotional charge that mingles through the synthetic sheen; something not entirely human, nor wholly artificial - a chimeric emergence.

SLIPSTREAM

IN AGREEMENT AND STILL YOUNG
WINGS CLIPPED BUT SOARING
WET PARTICLES GRAZING CHEEKS
AT THE SPEED OF SOUND
LIMBS SHIVER
COLD AIR DELIVERED
TO THE TOP OF YOUR LUNG


ASSASSIN'S GAMBIT

THERE'S LOVE
BUT THEN THERE'S STANDING AT THE EDGE OF A CLIFF
SKIN CRAWL
SHADOW SLIPPING


MEMORIAE

AN INCH DRAWS NEAR
KERATIN PLATES SHINE MY FACE BACK TO ME
THE TIPS CATCH HOLD OF MY LIPS
CIRCLES IN BETWEEN THE SKIN GRAZE SOFTLY AND YOUR CURRENT FEELS LIKE MINE
A PASS AT THE EAR AND A CLOSENESS LIKE A BROTHER'S BUT SOFTER
A PUSH OF AIR SENDS HOME MOVIES TO MY SKULL
THEN COME SANDALWOOD ALDEHYDES
TRILLIONS DANCE
EXCHANGE OF POTENTIAL
THE UNIVERSE KNOWING ITSELF
ONLY IT'S JUST YOU AND ME NOW


CHIMERA

SMELL OF PINE IN THE SALTY AIR
COLD PRICKLING SPLASH AT FACE
LIGHT RAYS
SILK SASH UNRAVELED
WIND-TORN AWAY
LOW RUMBLE CONTINUES
MOONLIGHT TAKES THE FRAME


LIKE CANNON FODDER

MOONLIGHT SPREAD SHEET FAR IN THE STAKE HOLDER
A BLINK FAST SLEPT ON THE FILE WITH THE GRAM CAUGHT OLDER
PERMANENT FILLED LIT SPEND HAD GONE ON COLDER
PILL TOP FREQUENT SOME HAND IN AN OLD BOULDER
TRAPPED AND HARD TILTED
FRAMED AND CARD WILTED
GUARD DOWN HANDS DOWN WARM EMBRACE WONDER
PELTED AT THE DRIVE IN
SWELTER OUT COLD
MY SOUL ON FIRE
YOU BECKON I HOLD


JACKRABBIT

ENDLESS VOID
JET ENGINE PEAKS
STARS ABOUND
LIKE RAIN DROP STREAKS


NON VERBAL IN THE DRIVE THRU

NICCED OUT ON THE BALCONY ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON
GOT MY TOOTH FIXED SO LATER I CAN FLY RIGHT TO THE MOON
WITH A BLINK AND WATERED EYE PULL IT ALL IN TILL IT STINGS
SHUT THE DOOR BEHIND ME SO THE POWDER LADY DON'T FEEL SHY WHEN SHE SINGS
