Today Only: Leftfield sale vinyl

Review: Barcelona-based duo Silvia Kostance and Viktor L. Crux make visceral noise and raw industrial a real art form. They have done so now across lots of EPs and two albums on the likes of Mannequin Records, B.F.E Records and Magia Roja. They bring post-punk and EBM to their work but always with their own signature sounds at the core. Their renowned live shows inform their recorded music too and Toda la mentira sobre Dame Area is the first of two twin LPs that find the pair at their most explicit and emphatic. Their darkly seductive avant pop and mix of dub and insurgent noise all make for another superb album.

Review: Yu Asaeda's been putting out a whole range of quality, bass-centric sounds under the name ENA since the late 2000s, but these have come out on a rather sporadic basis. Appearances for the infamous 7even Recordings was followed by material on Samurai Horo, the excellent Hidden Hawaii and, more recently, the Samurai label's offshoot, Horo. Divided: Body is so much more than a mere 'bass' EP, and it actually manages to veer off into some pretty strange and imperceptible sounds that remind us of the material emanating from the PAN consortium. For instance, the opening "11th Divided" manages to create a raw, loose groove out of fractured synth sounds, which is followed up nicely by the swarming drones operating in the higher ends of "12th Divided". Over on the flip, "13th Divided" launches a subtle yet hefty groove made up of what sound like bass pops made from a monophonic synth, which leaves "14th Divided" to linger in its dreary pool of fuzzy drones and washed-up sonics. A massive, merited TIP!
