about

Review by Rory Gibb for The Wire Magazine, September 2013

Metasplice's recent emergence cast light onto Philadelphia's electronic underground, whose forays into Techno, Noise and improvisation glitter dark and hard, like seams of unrefined ore. Great Circles has released music by Metasplice side project _moonraker, and Westov Temple is label boss Justin Gibbon's project. Its four tracks are texturally akin to his labelmates, hinting at channels of creative feedback between Gibbon and his fellow city dwellers (either that or, as Metasplice's V Hold joked in an interview with The Wire, Philadelphia's harsh nature instilling a shared taste for fibrous electronic noise).

"Messiah Drums" teems with treacherously sharp edges, like tiptoeing through a grotto of razor-sharp stalagmites, while "Messiah Drugs" is spiny, springloaded electo. The surface of Geiger Memorial is etched with acidic fizz, so its core pulse registers as rhythmic pressure from the deep beneath. They're extraordinarily vibrant, evidence that club music's interface with the Noise world remains loaded with potential.
