Slikback - Attrition (2025)
Attrition is Slikback’s most refined and deliberate statement yet, shaping chaotic club energy into cinematic dystopian soundscapes. Its eleven tracks blend gqom’s saturated bass, dubstep’s oppressive texture, footwork’s skittering rhythms, and broken techno’s industrial punch, all designed with forensic precision. Moments of disquiet—like the eerie calm of “Snow” and the crystalline melancholy of “Semblance of Composure”—provide emotional balance amid explosive tracks like “Knot,” “Taped,” and “Trars,” which crush with blast beats, metal shrieks, and machine-like fury. Reviewers note that this album grants Slikback the space to craft meticulously layered compositions, allowing melodic subtlety to emerge beneath the chaos. It’s not for the faint-hearted, but for those drawn to uncompromising sonic confrontation, Attrition is a masterpiece of controlled destruction.
