New York's Gridfailure has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of dark ambient, experimental, noise and horror soundtrack music and this is a review of his self released 2024 album "When The lights Go Out Vol. IV".
Field recordings start off the album along with some ambient style keyboards a few seconds later while a couple of tracks are also long and epic in length. A lot of the recording also captures the atmosphere of a horror movie soundtrack and elements of jazz music can also be heard at times.
Noises are also added into certain sections of the recording while a lot of the tracks also stick to more of an instrumental direction. At times the music also gets very experimental sounding along with the album also mixing in a lot of different electronic sounds, a few songs also adds in a small amount of spoken word samples.
Stringed instruments are also introduced into the music on one of the songs along with the recording also mixing in a great amount of drones. Home made instruments can also be heard briefly and also gives the album more of an avant garde dimension and one track also adds in a small amount of clean playing and as the album progresses electric guitars are also introduced. The production sounds very dark while the song themes focus on classic horror cinema and literature.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Gridfailure and if you are a fan of dark ambient, experimental, noise and horror soundtrack music, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Shadows Manifest" "Parasomnia" "The Husking" and "Final Transition". 8 out of 10.
