The Desolation Test

Bounte’s signature blend of genres are on display throughout this EP — from IDM to trip-hop to industrial, even a touch of disco — at times woven with intricate programming, at others cobbled together with brute-force production. The result is a slick yet emotional electronic album that calls on one to drop the self-censoring voice and trust the expression of loss, anger, confusion, frustration, desire, and bliss.

Bounte

Bounte weaves varied motifs and techniques into darkly emotive and uniquely structured songs that give listeners much to explore. Drawing inspiration from myriad music genres, field recordings, and productions, Bounte intricately sequences flowing beats, time juxtapositions, warped guitars, sweet orchestrations, and gnarly bass. The studious tracks force internal thought to meet the outside world, examine it from odd angles, and ultimately forge a new harmony from disparate ideas.
