Ai Messiah

UK first press 2018.
Proper head melter. Ai Messiah blurring the line between industrial electronics, noise, and fractured rhythm experiments. Feels mechanical but weirdly alive, like machines arguing with themselves at high volume. Beats stumble, textures grind, melodies barely surface before getting swallowed again. Not an easy listen, not trying to be, but massively rewarding if you like your electronic music tense, abrasive, and a bit confrontational. Serious late night headphones job.
