Farewell Is a Building

Von Tesla is a haunted loop hunter who makes eerie, multilayered electronic music. Grainy textures, drones, and obscured pulses are all rewritten into misty, oppressive landscapes or airless, shining snapshots of the cosmos. Decay of Vacuum opens with shimmering synths before slipping into the kind of warbled manipulations Von Tesla does best. A/R Into the Future shows off the producer's sludgy, heavyweight side, while City Lights could be some sparkling John Carpenter reinvention. Farewell leaves the listener stranded on a sparse and alien landscape, far away from anything else.
