Still ∞ Alive - From Womb To Tomb

Still ∞ Alive is a Los Angeles-based electronic producer and composer Alex Yukich. His latest album "From Womb To Tomb" is a captivating 28 minute trip through the realms of witch-bass, sinister drone and post-phonk. From the very first drum hit in "Awakening", followed by the crushing wall of bass that carries the listener into "Vanishing", Still ∞ Alive sets the menacing tone for the record. The mood shifting and attention to detail gives "From Womb To Tomb" a certain cinematic feel that makes me want to believe I'm listening to a soundtrack composed for a sci-fi thriller movie about a serial killer. The weakest link of the record is half way through - "The Burden of a Beating Heart" seems a bit off with its wavey, almost hopeful vibe, especially when it is squeezed between brooding bass of "Petrified" and the melancholic piano of "History of Impulse". Nevertheless, the album as a whole is an amazing experience that will for sure satisfy fans of Lorn, Ben Frost, CRAVE or Makeup.
