New Cemetery: “Riffs”
ByPatrick St. Michel March 31, 2017

Nothing says “Friday afternoon vibes” like some hair-raising, industrial-tinged electronic music. Cemetery excels at this, and he has an album coming out via Sacred Phrases in May. “Riffs” is a preview of what to expect, and it turns out the producer is dabbling in slow-burning, slowly building in force electronic music with all sorts of…

ByPatrick St. Michel May 2, 2019

A classic example of a song where using too many words trying to say something smart would be foolish. This is just a really great dance track, one really bringing the energy without ever letting it slip for a second. It exists in the same semi-fluttery zone as a lot of stuff you’d find on…
