Cult abstract and atmospheric electronica Australian duo Pretty Boy Crossover are back with their first new material in 15 years, amid IDM, Glitch leanings and space-like quality, that pulse, ebb and flow somewhere in an aural cloudy maze of both hypnotizing and uncanny synthetic sounds, cozy bouncy rhythms, and emotional-ridden melodies. Glitch rolls-charged leaping and thudding hypnotic rhythmic patterns, ominous buzzing swells, glaring melancholic synth resonances, wind through fluctuating streams of expanding hazy wistful frequencies and disturbing yet tantalizing fascinations of distant universes. A welcome return.
