As a new project of Shane Talada from The Operative, Element, and STG, I knew I was going to like Marching Dynamics. What I didn't expect was how much I would end up liking it. Which is to say a lot. Nailsleeper is truly remarkable. Interesting sonic textures over great beats make for a stand out in the industrial and dance genres. Get it.
This was a recommended pick @ Ameoba Records in Hollywood. They rarely, if ever, pick music that is hyped-up drivel. Marching Dynamics has a distinctly dark edge to most of the tracks. "Nailsleeper" definitely strays into the deeper recesses of the psyche. The sixteen tracks are superbly curated and flow seamlessly. I was initially put off by the apparent darker-than-thou packaging and categorization as "Industrial". Not another brooding "Hot Topic", poseur band. No this is a very nuanced album that defies genre labels. Great dark tinged electronic.
