EXPERIMENTAL/ELECTRONIC: Returning after an excursion into the world of techno with Blawan as Karenn, Pariah returns with his first solo record since 2010's Safehouses, and it's probably his most assured work yet. "Rift" provides some spectral 2-step, but rather than the Burial school of thinking Pariah goes deep into smoggy industrial territory, accented by dramatic strings and tunnelling bass. "Signal Loss" meanwhile is a melancholic piece of woodblock driven, ghostly R&B, but "Among Those Metal Trees" is the most affecting of the lot, a beatless soundscape shrouded in a grey warmth.
