Voodoo Crystals - 1717

New EP from Voodoo Crystals dropped today. Entitled "1717" it's available in digital format from his bandcamp or as a limited edition mini CD, as part of the "Japan Mini CD Promo Triangle Set #1", released via Phantasma Disques. The 3CD set, which also includes EPs by Pwin Teaks and Vengeur, can be ordered here. I only started listening to "1717" but can already tell it's a unique collage of distortion, delay and post-witch beats amplified with lyrics that channel vulnerability, self-destructive tendencies and longing for companionship. The EP is hard to describe with one catch-all term, as darkwave, IDM, dark electro and witch-house elements clash and overlap each other, forming a short and dynamic release.

Buy the digital EP here, CD version here, and stream it all below.
