tr_🇺🇦 I'm from the future. A cleaning robot from Bandcamp sent me. Inexplicably, even having reached 200 supporters there were no comments for this good and, considering how different the s/t was, ballsy minimal electronic release. It's dark, atmospheric and pleasant. Most importantly, it doesn't make me revert back to counting squirrels after a couple of minutes of fast jungle/dnb/whatever beats. Favorite track: A3.

virgilbarnard Love the comment above me! I second their opinion, this album deserves letters strung into words into sentences into ideas into realizations… it’s a debut of sorts :) Favorite track: B4.

about

Pessimist links with longtime associate Karim Maas for twelve untitled, interconnected tracks of paranoid, dub-fissured hip-hop and voidal techno pressure. Forget dnb…this is a downer than downtempo excursion, deep and dread, heavy as a jeep parked on your chest, with low-slung, blunted breakbeats and weapons-grade sub-bass caught up in whirlpools of dissolve and decay and baleful, insinuating drone...yeah at times it feels less like a record and more like a bona fide AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT. Intricate, elegant, its chillin-with-the-wrong-b-boy mood fantastically sustained, It conquers territory that previous Pessimist and Maas solo productions have only hinted at, connecting with the Isolationist/industrial traumascapes/infinite-comedown of 90s E.A.R./Köner, Main and SAW II, the enveloping neo-noir of Plastikman’s Consumed, the crackle-and-hiss materiality of Rhythm & Sound and Pole, the thermonuclear rack and ruin of Lustmord's Stalker. Just the baddest vibes...Music to get lost - real lost - inside.

Unsettling. "We Did It" sounds off-kilter to start with, but develops into a menacing knockout. Another fine Pessimist release. Neil Cheyney
