Nova At Juno Download

Review: Swinging into view with an oversized suitcase full of wobbly basslines and a rucksack of spooky noises, Nova stick two fingers up to the D&B establishment with their latest single for the aptly titled Amunition Recordings. The title track itself is a fiery beast, all mangled rhythms, killer bass wobble and scattergun noises. If you were fleeing for your life from a swam of cyber-wasps set free by a shaven-headed goon in a souped-up Vauxhall Astra, this would be the soundtrack. Flipside "Geoglyph" is similarly mentally unbalanced, coming on like the mutant offspring of David Icke and a rubber-clad Doctor Who monster on heat!

Review: Prepare for a synth-laden soundscape from Nova in this three-track venture on Terrorform. Aptly named "Sad Day" is all pitched in the minor key, with laboured instrumentals setting the tone for the piece, and sweeping atmospherics accentuating the absence. After a while, grinding synths kick in with bubbling, sawtooth bass adding further antagonism from below. Moving through the emotions and "Regret" is all sombre beats, sparse and empty save for high pitched twinkling melodies, whilst concluding cut "Beautiful" is all elegant melodies, cooing vox and blissed out atmospherics.
