![]() ![]() This sounds like it would be at home on Rephlex at the tale end of the nineties, in all the right ways. An old commemorative plaque can be found at its base. It is one of the few remaining large crystals from the Searing in Ascalon, and is the only one seen in the Plains of Ashford. This seems a challenging new sound for the normally measured sound of the label. The Shards of War is a point of interest within Agnos Gorge. The synth wiggles its way around the clattering drums to expert effect, with child like screams punctuating the mix at random. The opener ‘Hither Pappy’, is a distorted jumble of classic drum machine sounds driven to the maximum. Rewind a few months and Eomac’s debut for Will Bankhead’s TTT (The Trilogy Tapes) – Most of this record sounds like it is falling apart at the seams. Grit, granite and grime on the latest album by Eomac, one half of Lakker – Joe Muggs Spatters of noise, shards of broken beat and relentlessly pounding techno rhythms also make it a dancefloor-decimating weapon. Synth intro leads to tense strings at 0:15 and viola solos and builds throughout. Ian’s amazing sound-design (bordering on the intense in some places) and incredible attention to detail makes this an album where each listen reveals a deeper layer.

His music has already gainedhuge support from the likes of Tommy Four Seven, Ellen Allien, Thom Yorke and the one and only Aphex Twin himself.īleepy, slo-mo synth lines, dense textures, saturated bassdrums and hand-sliced vocals dunked in cavernous reverb – Spectre is all about EOMAC doing what he does best, taking our concepts of club sound and contorting them into something that is truly his own. Ian is better-known as half of the Irish duo Lakker and this album is certainly carved from the same cold slab of stone. Spectre also marks the label’s first full-length album release. Killekill is proud to present EOMAC’s “Spectre”, the debut album from Dublin-based producer Ian McDonnell, a rising star in the techno scene. It’s the kind of DJ/live set I love to do” – Eomac yet another merciless offensive in the seemingly unending loudness war. ![]() Lots of styles and tempos, a build from slow to fast. As such, they draw similarities with Aphex Twin, and while there are no tangible.
