For those craving another dispatch from the members of Mosquitoes after five years of absence! Split Apex comprises of former Mozzie and Komare member Peter Blundell alongside the theorist Jussi Palmusaari. In much the same way as Blundell’s previous band, this new group comprises of sparse arrangements of bass guitar (either hypnotically repetitive or ominously open-ended in it’s phrasing), minimal percussion, and a series of drily delivered vocals. The first side of this LP almost feels like a more song-based distillation of these textures and approaches, somewhere closer to the mechanical ____ of early UK industrial music, before disintegrating on the second side into a churn of melting slo-mo vocals, echoing guitars, and electronic gurgles that fittingly feel alongside Shadow Ring and CIA Debutante. –Mitch Thoughts In 3D by Split Apex
