[redacted]'s self-titled debut full length is the artist’s first recorded output since 2014’s INJURY TRAIN AND I'M NEVER GETTING OFF IT b/w VULNERABILITY. Emerging with this album, their sound remains transcendent and meticulous with a newly articulated focus and even bolder minimalism. Anna Nasty returns on keyboards and voice, now writing sinewy bass lines against the steady pulse of a drum machine. Lyrically it is sparse, but laden with meaning. A. Nasty’s vocals are psychedelic yet straightforward, confident but desperate, calculated and unhinged all at the same time.
Ambiguity drives [redacted] - the feeling of imminent danger in nearly going off the rails, just barely kept in line with the order
of rhythm. [redacted] magnetizes with their hypnotic repetition, only to disorient with a catchy line gone awry. Any moment might send their compositions into a totally different atmosphere, like Ian Curtis playing on the moon. The punk sensibilities of [redacted]’s dance music ride a delicate balance between chaos and precision. The year is 2019 and fictions of genre and gender are even further behind us, making way for [redacted].
