Description:
A modern, urban building of glass and steel, lit electronically by alternating lamps bathing it partly in soft organic light, partly in hard, cold, flickering neon: if "Artefacts" was a building, this is how a synesthete might describe it. The second album from Lukas Schneider wanders from ambient to club-compatible, mixing with industrial, urban, and pop, all while retaining his own unique aesthetic. Somewhere in between Haujobb, William Orbit and minimal electro, Auto Aggression have found their niche where artifacts... sound fragments and debris generated by digital manipulation became the basis for the tracks. While the album contains a rich diversity of electronic structures for which Auto Aggression is known, this time the focus is more on the sounds, on the surface structure of the tracks, which in turn evoke a range of emotions in the listener - "Artefacts" proves itself to be not only a polished composition, but it seduces the listener with a danceable combination of sound, structure, and melody - much as a well-designed building marries form and function. The track "A Thousand Fires" features Eskil Simonsson of Covenant.
