Slikback releases “Attrition” - a densely detailed, cinematic exploration of sound packed with intricate rhythms and gleaming textures.

Slikback's "Attrition" marks his first full-length album for Planet Mu, delivering an immersive melding of cinema and game sound design with tough dance music. It's like a sci-fi film for the ears, exploring a chain of events with dark atmospheres and dramatic pacing, trapdoors and jump scares for your ears. These contrasts and the dense painterly colour of his sounds give it a beastly beauty. The album came to life during a period of transition, while waiting for a visa after recently moving to Poland from Kenya, where he grew up. With this unexpected pause in travel, Slikback found himself working at a slower, more deliberate pace. Writing for a label instead of self-releasing also introduced new dynamics, like feedback and structured release schedules. Rather than feeling restricted, he saw this process as a blessing. In a happy and reflective headspace_newly married and welcoming a newborn child_he was able to fully develop his compositions. "I was finally able to explore ideas to a point where I didn't feel the need to change anything," he shares. "Attrition" is the result of that creative freedom. While "Attrition" nods to familiar genres, drawing on elements of Gqom, Dubstep, Tech-Step, and Hardcore Techno, it pushes them into new territory, shaping high-tech, intricate compositions. "I worked on the tracks back and forth, drastically transforming some from their original sketches," Slikback explains. "I wanted to create a journey within each track, like something alien emerging from emptiness_beauty from chaos." The album opens gently before diving into fast-paced 140bpm sounds, reminiscent of earlier Planet Mu releases. Midway through, "Taped" shifts the energy with a shimmering, 160bpm rolling bassline. As the album progresses, its intensity builds. The music grows darker, faster, and more unpredictable, culminating in a final track that bursts apart in a thrilling, chaotic climax. A standout moment in Slikback's career, "Attrition" is a masterclass in sound design and vision. Strange yet beautiful, intense yet rewarding_it's the most strikingly unique album you'll hear all year.[info sheet from distr.]
