AGENT SIDE GRINDER 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Stockholm industrialists Agent Side Grinder began life by releasing eight albums in seven years between 2008 and 2015. Here they return to action with their first LP since, the suitably dark, throbbing and intense "A/X". There's much to enjoy from start to finish, from the intoxicating, EBM-influenced paranoia of "Decompression" and grandiose mid-80s Depeche Mode brilliance of "Stripdown", to the unsettling throb and panicked electronics of "The Great Collapse" (a kind of "Personal Jesus" for the Twitter generation) and the unholy late night pulse of "Wounded Star", where Sally Dige's fragile and glacial vocal rises above a slo-mo arpeggio bassline and icily clandestine chords.
