This vinyl only trilogy of post-hauntology electronica is one of the most restless and exciting releases of the year. Spooky, pulsating, cosmopolitan, and always evocative, Demdike Stare continue to defy categorization and convention to craft this massive assemblage of sounds that combine minimalist techno, drone, world, library music and horror soundtracks. It's immensely dark, but far too sexy to be considered dark ambient, and far too dark to be considered anything else. It's best not to attempt to pigeonhole it really. Instead, rewards aplenty await those who simply give themselves to a journey through Demdike Stare's unique and original soundworld. I've been travelling it throughout the year, and I still find something new to marvel at each and every time. For those who missed these superb LPs, there will be a cd reissue with 40 extra minutes of music coming out in January.
