Evo Auxilium builds the electronic bass driven “chop it up!” on a foundation of rich low end. The percussive synth tones and the songwriter’s attention to the textural qualities of all the sounds in the track is impressive and easy to get lost within as melodic spirals pulse outward and dissolve in your mind. Stylistically it fuses post-punk moodiness with the techno impulses of Clark and the latter’s use of percussive melodies. It’s a song about reconnecting with a friend one doesn’t get to see often that lives out of town but when you’re together you can fall into welcome familiar patterns of hanging out and talking about the usual concerns perchance work on some creative work time permitting. It’s a nice mix of playfulness and sonic intensity reminiscent of Sextile’s most recent album Crash but in this case the techno mixes with perfectly with industrial sensibilities rather than those more shoegaze adjacent. Listen to “chop it up!” on Spotify and follow the Minneapolis, Minnesota-based artist Evo Auxilium via LinkTree.
