Majestoluxe

"Subarctic urban industrial pop songs from Stockholm, Sweden."
Swedish producers Conny Fornbäck’s Majestoluxe material is a very specific kind of minimal industrial, one that focuses on twisting and wringing as much as possible out of gnarled synth loops and punky arrangements of metallic percussion. It’s a sound that relies on both Fornbäck’s growly voice, and deliberate choices in where to place breakdowns, builds and variations to keep things intriguing. A cut like opener “Assertive Indifference” is little more than a single loop of heavily filtered and saturated body music style bass, and a vocal that holds back on the verse before laying in on the chorus, creating and releasing tension as its drums double and halve themselves. Alternately, a cackling guest shot from J△3 sEUQCAJ of à;GRUMH… is made all the more horrifying by how the little there is to detract from his drawling and screams, tiny spikes of peaky synth and 16th note percussion hits that lay below the surface of the mix. When closer “El Popeah” does break out with a manic arrangement of FM bass and ranted vocals it feels all the more unhinged for the slow boiling builds of each cut that preceded it.
