The Church

Legendary French producer and Los Angeles resident Mr Oizo presents 'The Church', a lavish foray into unexpected sonic dimensions. Limber and chaotic, 'The Church' swerves from gasping intensity to minimal rapture. It is a loose cannon, a bold experiment that provokes outbursts of energy and dance. 'Bear Biscuit' crashes through the skull, a forceful debut of Oizo's audio weaponry. Delusional undulations inhabit 'Ham', while 'Mass Doom' flips from an industrial beginning into an elastic sonic swim. 'Machyne' is wickedly alluring, a synthetic tightrope crossing the wild high of technology. 'Torero' drops into a thunderstorm, dabbling in the eye of an electrical tornado with a breakdown of flashing lights, shredded walls and colored confetti: pure swirling madness. Built with broken windows on a cavernous bassline, title track 'The Church' closes the album with a luscious, geometric melody. Unpredictable and assertive, leaden yet light - Mr. Oizo's unique style and aerobic beats offer listeners an exhilarating aural excursion.
