Altered Zones

Opening with a burst of day-glo detuned synthesizer nostalgia that could have walked straight off of a record by one-time Skam labelmates Boards of Canada, the final track on VHS Head's new Midnight Section EP takes an aggressive turn into the kinds of stuttering beats and micronoise whirlwinds that characterize most of the record. It's the magic of the competition-- chaos vs. beauty, the assault of memory vs. the fractured jack of the beat-- that proves VHS Head a more than worthy inheritor of Skam's storied imprimatur. --Arturo Darvishire, Altered Zones
