Pandemonium

Listen: Bandcamp • Spotify

“We’re all DM fans, but Pandemonium is mainly about pulsating bass lines and hard-hitting drums, in the vein of a Harris/McCarthy production. We actually used Nitzer Ebb’s Industrial Complex as a sonic reference during the mixing and mastering process of the album.”
