#1489 Machinedrum - Vapor City

Landing somewhere between subpar Prefuse tracks and pure glitch on the barely-there-o-meter, each track on Vapor City stitches an itchy beat to a warped sample or two and kind of throws washes and dub moves at them while they toddle around. There's the occasional burble of emotional resonance, but this mostly sounds like lazy looperism.

Thankfully, I'm pretty sure this whole slurry/samply/sub-IDM-revival movement died out in 2013 -- it reeked of shallow newness for its own sake from the moment it skittered under the door 2/5
