Scorn – Café Mor (2019)

January 9, 2020

I can’t believe it’s been 9 years since Scorn released Refuse: Start Fires. As someone who never thought I would hear new Scorn material, with it being one of my favourite low key projects ever, I absolutely shit the bed when I found out the project had returned last year.

I’ll admit, this doesn’t really push the boat forward, instead wallowing in the mire of its own claustrophobic density, but yeah, I don’t fucking care about that. I’m so so happy to be able to lose myself in these paranoid, dark electronic passages and beats. The second from last track contains a bizarre vocal accompaniment, which is interesting, but otherwise it’s par for the course. And honestly, that really isn’t a bad thing, this is such a good record. Here’s to more Scorn.
