Pictureplane - Dark Rift

Track Review: Goth Star - 95

I honestly could have picked 4 out 5 songs of this record but decided to go with the Goth Star, the closest thing Pictureplane ever had to an underground hit. Listening to these songs now reminds of a really great time for independent electronic music, right before EDM and dubstep sort of broke the whole thing open. Super synthy with beefy beats and cut up vocal stabs that feel hand crafted. Along with artists like Araabmuzik, baths, javelin, nosajthing, Daedalus etc., Pictureplane was making electronic music that didn’t feel overly programmed or reliant on a build/drop.
