A Taste of Salt and Steel
Returning to Mesh for another full-length EP of disruptive electronic music, Istanbul-based artist Pleizel delivers four new cuts out Friday 27th March.
With a passion for the microscopic details that make up sound, Pleizel’s music contemplates the meeting points between technicality and feeling, constantly experimenting with new forms that give musical ideas space to breathe. Weaving through a spectrum of electronic music cornerstones whilst retaining a voice clearly her own, A Taste of Salt & Steel is a trip through four distinct moments, each cut with a clarity that lingers long after.
‘In Your Skin’ leads with broken down rhythms and kinetic drums, driven forwards by gradually expanding distortions. Shifting up a gear, ‘Shipwreck’ is a bouncy cut of DnB displaying the vast extent of her cinematic sound design, propelled by jagged synths and Pleizel’s own vocals. ‘Third Party’ occupies an interesting space between acid and breaks, teetering on the edge of something familiar whilst continuing to disrupt expectations. Closing things off, ‘ZAFER’ dissolves conventional forms for something more intuitive, fusing a deep pool of sonic detail into a mutating structure.
The result is a restrained but powerful collection of future ruins and glistening edges, sent from the edges of contemporary electronics.
