"This is electronic for those of us who are a little more intelligent, but lack of beat it has not. “Amen” is an excellent mix of electronic, almost quasi-goth atmospheres, careful programming, and hypnotic beats. ∆AIMON show more promise than most bands today in electronic genres, and if they take their career further the chances of success are weighed respectfully on their end."
"Una volta inserito il nastro magnetico nel mangiacassette e partita la musica, il rischio principale è quello di danneggiare le testine causando profonde abrasioni; secondariamente, le casse cominciano a vibrare come se al loro interno fosse in atto una scossa tellurica di forte magnitudo."
"Creepy, electronic gloom pop ambience, haunting expanses of swirling ominous synthscapery and awesomely distorted and blown out dream-drag groove from these witch housers. […] And so it goes, we’re gonna stop feeling like we need to defend witch house, cuz separated from the blog hyped hipster championed genre signifier, there’s very little NOT to dig about this stuff, and this tape in particular."
The tape version of this awesome album is available in the North Americas exclusively from the brilliant Aquarius Records. Place your orders as long as stock lasts!
The “Amen” remix album, featuring remixes by Funerals, Preteen Pornstar, I††, Vortex Rikers and others, is officially available now for free download at Tundra Dubs bandcamp.
I’m sorry to inform you that the printer has ruined the inlay for the cassette tape edition of ∆AIMON’s “Amen” EP. He has to print it again. Unfortunately, since he’s ridiculously slow AND pretty uncommunicative, I don’t know when exactly he’ll get it done. As soon as I have the tapes in my hands, the news will be posted here and pre-orders will be shipped! Sorry for the delay, sorry for any inconvenience!
In the meantime enjoy the video for ∆AIMON’s SWANS cover A SCREW (HOLY MONEY)! This is amazing stuff!
Scratchy drones rub like icy fingers against synthetic beats and psychedelic loops, while the rhythm flits eerily through the darkness, from which ghostly voices entice, call, complain: The confrontationally bleak aesthetics of ∆AIMON reveal the underbelly of modern music, the ugly side of Witch House.
"A male/female duo from Southern California; AAIMON defy their sunny locale in exchange for beautiful, grim and sometimes harsh occult soundscapes; with compositions built on anxiety and paranoia giving way to a heightened feverish sexuality and erotic ritualism. Coming from an extremely wide set of influences, their music is its own unique blend of slow and menacing conjurations. Generally connected with the ‘drag‘ and ‘witchhouse‘ genres, AAIMON uses unconventional sound-design and tension within often pop oriented song structures to instill unnerving sensations."
"These blown out witchhouse jams are heavy. The title track starts out with some simple static manipulation that develops into a broken synth trip with vocals that sound as if they’re coming from a massive figure made from black smoke leading a force of demons to storm the gates of hell. Crank your speakers up loud and get blasted with laser-metal prossessed by hip-hop spirits."
