My Review: Ivy’s Void - Ivy’s Void Ep

 Ivy's Void - Ivy's Void Ep

Beauty wears black. Always.

Let's go to Berlin, where this colour is a danger that can be felt and smelt everywhere. There are those, however, who know how to create it without suffering affronts and controversy. For example, Eve's Void, catatonic robots and distributors of contaminated and derivative poison (listen to the beginning of Isolation_Horizon and you will hear the spectres of Kraftwerk's The Model signing off), released in 2016, on the amazing Oraculo Records, this Ep that is nothing if not a sonic concept on the increasingly technological world and therefore suffering from addictions. At least a dozen musical genres claim space and it is for this reason that it is all a blossoming of suggestions, references and much more, for an incredibly compact result. We also find The Cramps in the sumptuous Deranged 43, kept hidden and given over to an almost melancholic but certainly vibrant synthpop. 

Sensual and almost psychedelic keyboards challenge the bass, the instrument that leads one to think that Postpunk here is a tireless generator of inspiration!
