Review

Gridlock's grinding noise and pounding, violent rhythms may owe much to the legacy of industrial bands of the late 1980s, but on Further, their sophomore release, the duo of Mike Wells and Cadoo prove they aren't out to make just another tired old industrial album. Light, soothing atmospheres are desecrated (but in a good way) by the percussive onslaught, as though pleasant dreams were being interrupted by unspeakable nightmares. Vocals manifest themselves in that coarse, typically industrial manner, but they are sparse and fitful, strategically kept out of the way of the music. The resulting mix places the group somewhere amid the musical Bermuda triangle of Skinny Puppy, Dive, and Autechre. There's a stark, terrible, apocalyptic beauty to the songs--sleek, seductive, but hiding a hideous secret. A very engaging recording and a worthy follow-up to 1997's excellent The Synthetic Form. Just don't listen to it alone in the dark. --Steve Landau
