MINERVA SYSTEM is a fractured but symbiotically tight collective, threading their various life strands into the dense cloth of their newest single, ‘Undermind’. With members scattered from London to Devon, from St. Petersburg to the indeterminate coordinates of their drummer, the net outfit crafts sonic installations which might be as expansive as their geographical unfold.
‘Undermind’ is a descent into the ethereal, echoing the otherworldly aura of Bjork with an execution that performs havoc with rhythmic pulses. MINERVA SYSTEM manipulates time signatures with trip-hop precision whereas sustaining a mellifluous melodicism that binds the chaos into coherence. Discernibly, few artists know the way to create equilibriums of sonic serenity and visceral depth as adeptly as MINERVA SYSTEM with their ability in soaking sounds with uncooked emotion.
Because the monitor progresses, it metamorphoses; halfway, it shifts gears right into a 90s-alt-rock-tinged crescendo that wouldn’t be amiss in a Rubbish tracklist. This crescendo is a stark, gritty counterpoint to the monitor’s smoother beginnings, illustrating the band’s versatile command over their sound palette.
In the event that they proceed to supply hits in the identical vein as Undermind, their rise from the underground is inevitable. They’ve clearly mastered the darkish artwork of sonic scintilaltion; watch this area.
