New Eadonmm: “Oblivio Throb”
Quick quiz – what album was Make Believe Melodies most excited about coming into 2013? Even though this year has seen new full-lengths from Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, Moscow Club, Sakanaction, Tofubeats and a bunch of other artists I adore, someone else had me giddier than any of them heading into January. That would be Eadonmm, Kansai’s most unsettling electronic producer who was going to release a new album sometime in 2013. His spooky productions – along with an absolutely killer set at this year’s SonarSound festival, which found him laying out his twisted darkwave in front of footage of hellfire and nightmarish hospital footage where everyone was wearing animal masks – had me pumped for whatever he would put out. Unfortunately, that LP hasn’t emerged yet.
Though this past week, he did post a new song called “Oblivio Throb” that has once again gotten me giddy for what could (hopefully?) be coming. This song does, indeed, throb, slowly unfolding and introducing new creepy details as it goes along. There is a muffled vocal sample, a carnival-esque synth line and skittery drum programming. It all comes together to form an understated…but goosebump-inducing…track. Listen below.
