Jash Teua – Alarm (EP – Aliens Production)
Genre/Influences: IDM, experimental, cinematographic.
Format: Digital.
Background/Info: Jash Teua is a Russian solo-project driven by Zalim Bekulov. He self-released this debut-EP in 2018 while Aliens Production re-released it last year. A debut album entitled “Amentia” has also been released.
Content: This work features 5 songs, leading the listener into a world of reverie, which is rapidly joined by subtle and intelligent sound treatments. The songs are mainly driven by a slow rhythm while electro-space like atmospheres accentuates the dreamy feeling. There’s a harmony between the influences, which are mainly into cinematographic music and IDM.
+ + + : This is the kind of project you might expect from Aliens Production. A work without real compromises, but into a total artistic freedom although related with IDM and soundtrack music. It has something of an accessible experiment. “My” is a fine exposure of this artist’s sound vision.
– – – : This kind of project remains complex and mainly meant to conquer a restricted number of listeners.
Conclusion: “Alarm” could be the right soundtrack for an imaginary surreal movie.
Best songs: “My”, “Black Mirror”.
Rate: (7).

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.
