Genre/Influences: Electro-pop.

Background/Info: Adam Radziszewski and Wojciech Jarzębak is the Polish duo hiding behind Uncarnate. Nearly four years after their debut mini-album “Weak Protein Life” they’re back again unleashing six new songs plus two remixes.

Content: The debut work of Uncarnate was clearly electro-pop driven, but still revealing some minimalism in the production and a few harder EBM elements. “Reality Breakdown” is more ‘classical’ electro-pop like. It’s a sweet and melodic production with a few harder (EBM-inspired again) and darker passages. Singer Wojciech Jarzębak has a rather charismatic voice.

Remixes have been done by Deaf and Exemia.  

+ + + : There’s a considerable evolution in the different aspects of the production. The sound became more ‘classical’-like, but the composition is more elaborate. The songs are simple, but efficient. And here again I prefer the harder touch running through the body-pop driven “Deep Green”. I also have to say a word about the cool and more club-orientated remix of “Samael” by Mexican producer Exemia. Last, but not least the artwork (digipak) of this album is sober, but great!

– – – : Uncarnate doesn’t innovate at any single moment. It’s a fully enjoyable piece of music without ‘hits’ and that’s probably what this band is missing the most.

Conclusion: It’s not an easy thing to distinguish yourself at the endless universe of electro-pop music. “Reality Breakdown” is a pleasant listen, but without major surprises.

Best songs: “Deep Green”, “Samael – Exemia Remix”, “Dragon Eel”.

Rate: (7).

The fine dark electropop act Uncarnate returns with a brand new video for the track “Samael”. The clip above promotes the new mini-album “Reality Breakdown” which you can check out below on Bandcamp.

Here’s what Adam Radziszewski says about the video: “It tells a story which starts in a lab and ends in the woods at night. It’s not clear whether the musicians really meet Herne the Hunter, an elder forest ghost, or if this was nothing but tripping after the consumption of the primeval psychoactive substance just resynthesized from a plant.”

Bio

You will probably remember this fine band as they have been featured on 2 of our Face The Beat compilations. This Polish duo combines darkwave aesthetics, avant-pop and dance beats. Uncarnate draws inspiration from Scandinavian synthpop, Polish post-punk and Western European electro-industrial. Their newly released mini-album “Reality Breakdown” presents a cleaner, softer and deeper sound than their first “Weak Protein Life” EP.

Genre/Influences: Body-pop, minimal-electro-pop.

Background/Info: Uncarnate is a new and young Polish band set up by Adam Radziszewski and Wojciech Jarzębak. “Weak Protein Life” is their self-released debut production featuring 5 songs and 4 remixes.

Content: The very first tones directly reveal the main source of inspiration the duo is dealing with. The composition is driven by elements of electro-pop and EBM. The writing is rather minimal-like, but quite well-crafted and accomplished with some little details.

The vocals have a robotic touch, which is fitting with the sound. The cadence remains rather slow, but danceable.

The remixes have been made by My Neighbour Is, Exemia, Audiocentesis and Cold Therapy. These bands inject some diversity to the EP and I’m especially referring to the somewhat dubby & psychedelic remix of “Artist” by My Neighbour Is.

+ + + : The minimalism running through this work is a real interesting element. Uncarnate is not exactly emulating classical electro-pop standards, but tries to create a unique vision of electro-pop music. The song “Artist” is a real noticeable cut for its global production.

– – – : I’m missing a little bit more passion in the vocals. The robotic style is pretty good, but a little bit more conviction would be a bonus. This EP features cool songs, but unfortunately no hit.

Conclusion: I like the personal approach of this band, which takes off with a creative composition. I’m sure there’s much more potential hiding behind this band than what they’ve shown so let’s keep an eye on them.

Best songs: “Artist”, “Singularity”, “Singularity – Audiocentesis Rmx”.

Rate: (6½).

Track 61 on our free download compilation “Face The Beat: Session 3” is by Uncarnate. On “Face The Beat: Session 3” the band offers “Homesick” as reinterpreted by Mexican industrial artist Exemia.

You can listen to the track below.

The band is currently working on the release of the band’s first EP, “Weak protein life”. Uncarnate was actually founded by accident. Two musicians met at Castle Party (the largest Polish dark independent festival) and within a couple of minutes they decided to start a band. Things can go pretty fast if you are in the right place and time so it seems. What followed was a blend of cold modern electronic sound and melodic vocals.

The duo aren’t exactly newbies either. Adam has experience in producing disharmonic and ominous sounds for the darlk electro act Orbicide, both in studio and on stage. Wojciech has been behind several rock bands and brings a sense of harmony into the band’s music. Before releasing the track on the Side-Line powered compilation, the band had released 2 songs. The original version of “Homesick” appeared on “Elektro Villain 004” (UK) while “Singularity” landed on Mechanized’s Freak Machine 0.3 (Ecuador).
