120 BPM Review: You can always trust Downwards to release unconventional music, and Image Certifies is no exception. Ora Iso is a collaboration between Kathleen Malay and Jason Kudo, and this album reflects on the time that they both spent living in New York. Tellingly, it is also a "love letter to a society dying of its own self-induced cancers". On tracks like "Deep Fix" and "Dead Riot", with their strangled guitars and Malay's troubled tones, it's not hard to hear why they dedicated it to the collapse of every day life. On other occasions, like "No Fish" or "Digital Crutch", the pair veer into the type of abstractions that Sandra Electronics specialise in, but this is still a work suited for troubled times, as the mutant noise and shrieks of "Have I Gone to Far" so ably demonstrate.
