Unpacking the artifacts and coded runes that make up this new EP from Dez Williams gives a sense that whatever is contained in these tracks definitely comes from off-world.

'Rewire the Human' and 'Tales of the Uninfected' strike that raw nerve between electro and IDM, where the beats are a sturdy vessel for a sound which is otherwise totally raw, slanted and strikingly atmospheric. 'GUPI' is more a displacement of molecules, for reassembly in an unseen dimension. 'Tolerant' takes a funky ride through junk robotics, with atypical swung breaks and bizarro jazz chord pads. 'Jacid' delivers an abrupt and sobering wake-up, snapping your mind from the abstract to the straight acid experience that drips from a solid wall of kick, clap and ride. Dez has a way of tinting even the most straightforward stylistic work with custom lenses and palettes.

'Seeing Stars' is an epic closing cut, speaking truth to the moods and messages that might have been derived from the preceding material. On minimal textured beats made from treated scrap drum hits, under the ominous shadow of a massive canopy of warm unison saw waves, hovers an endearing melodic element, safely contained in tearful elation.
