Genre/Influences:
Power-noise,
industrial.
Background/Info:
Set
up in 1998, <1979> has released a considerable number of productions. The
duo consisting of Christian Bergmann and DrMolle are now back on track, unleashing
their first new album since “FM Interface” (2012). The main evolution happened
in the equipment, <1979> deciding to work with good-old analogue gear.
Content:
“Overlord”
might be seen as an antidote to the contemporary industrial production, which
are often mixing techno elements in their work. <1979> holds on to the
good-old elements, delivering a power-noise composition featuring an impressive
arsenal of noises and sound manipulations. The cadence running through the
songs remains rather slow, but all power is emerging from the electronics.

“Overlord” will appeal to all die-hard freaks of power-noise. It’s not
exactly a cheap copy from what has been done before, but a kind of power-noise
v.2 edit. The main strength of the work hides in the little sonic details and
multiple noises the tracks have been made by. I like the industrial loops
running through “Spirit”.

I can’t get away from the idea that the tracks are sometimes a bit too
repetitive. <1979> doesn’t really reach a climax in their work.
Conclusion:
Hands
has featured numerous progressive industrial projects and releases during the
past few years, but a few projects such as <1979> are holding onto
traditional power-noise.
