KPT delivers minimal techno euphoria
Minneapolis-based dark electronic artist KPT has unveiled a pair of atmospheric minimal techno tracks in a label-exclusive release, entitled Tramp.
Available exclusively through visionary label GIVE/TAKE by joining their mailing list, Tramp includes two previously "officially" unreleased singles from 2015 and 2016.
"Reconstruction," originally a CD-only bonus from KPT ALIVE BY MACHINES., finds the artist tapping into his inner-Angelo Badalamenti on a rather secretive and distant piece. Introspective organ, accompanied by a sole hi-hat and kick drum and precariously-fitting indecipherable vocal samples lead the listener into a solemn, yet hopeful place.
"Abandon" ups the tempo, while abandoning driving kick drums in favor of outlying rim shots and slippery hi-hats. Resounding bass synth evolves the rhythm before finally dissolving into an enigmatic FM synth pad awash with disregard. "Abandon" was originally featured as a new work on a collection of self-released singles.
