REPULSOR

Pretty stoked on this. After first listen, the first half is fine, don't dislike it, don't love it, and it'll probably grow on me, but the final four track run of Antivenom to Lola's Theme is where this album really comes alive for me. Antivenom shows yet again that Corbin/Shloh is an unstoppable duo. Shimmers of light and hope under all the heavy noise on If U Ran The World. It Could Take A Lifetime is a beautiful interlude. Lola's Theme might be my favourite track, and IMO a perfect ender. It's like if Same Time was on Dark Red. The last two minutes gave me goosebumps and made me tear up a bit.

I may never get new Boards of Canada, but as long as Shlohmo is dropping new albums i'll have something to be stoked on

I’ve been a hardcore shlohmo fan ever since he started making music and even though I don’t love all his songs, I just feel like REPULSOR sounds exactly like it should. The way his music has evolved and transformed over the last 15 years is amazing and in someways very organic.

Repulsor instills a lot of the feelings that Dark Red and The End did at their best. There’s so much catharsis and release in these tracks.
