Savage Grounds – Atrocities [LXRC30]

December 13, 2016December 3, 2025 hipodromecco, contra communem opinionem, daniele cosmo, florin buchel, industrial, lux rec, savage grounds, technoLeave a comment

Savage Grounds return to Lux Rec for the third time, with their third record. Atrocities comes after Unpleasant Music for Unpleasant People, released in 2015, and Over Fences, 2014. It is, as much as the previous 2, the result of investigations in music, live, composed with a minimum amount of instruments. The duo, comprised of CCO and Daniele Cosmo, worked with a Roland 606, a Roland 909 and a modular synthesiser. Experimenting with FM modulation and loose sequences. The result is concrete noise, anger, ghostly voices, and above all, the sheer conscience of human failures. Atrocities marks number 30 in the Lux Rec catalogue.

DJ Loser kicks off his vinyl debut with “Your eyes were telling me that you really cared”, a soothing and sun-bleached late night downbeat driver, which gives way to A2’s “Untitled” menacing and jacking tone that is sure to bang the dingiest of darkrooms. B1’s “I’ve got dis (but I can’t do it)” is a bona fide slammer made to liquify whatever is left of one’s mind way past the midnight hour, while Seixlack’s rendition of the latter brings more paranoid and percussive-led assaults to the table.
