Undermathic - Indistinct Face (2013)

By iurgi -

Originating from Poland, Maciej Paszkiewicz is the man behind Undermathic and this is his third release.

Throughout the album, a vast wasteland of phantasmagoric cities and machines is explored. Indistinct Face feels more like a soundtrack than a collection of songs. This is experimental music at its best. Lush strings and arrangements contrasts with harder beats and sounds to create a haunting and beautiful whole.

Undermathic may not be everyone's cup of tea but for someone who appreciates experimental music and is open minded Indistinct Face delivers an outstanding album that keeps revealing new shades and details in subsequent listens.

I dare say that this will surely have to be one of the best albums this year. An outstanding effort from start to end. The band release Wherever You Are as the single (see the video
