[MEDS VI] West: The Big Blue Sea, in variable storms, turns murky; the waters are warm and shallow, and the waves strike the ground in relative silence.

Under The Ground is an album with a certain intangible narrative. Sinister, vague yet measured and boundless. Sitting on the cinematic edge of the dark ambient genre, paying attention to intricate construction and movement. Contains some heavy kicks, repetitive snares and dark droning sounds, invoking gloomy monumental atmosphere.

The warped and spacious synths create a foggy, dreamlike neutrality vaguely reminiscent of the Disintegration Loops, or of Akira Yamaoka in his mellower moments, while the tight and understated drumbeats act to keep it set in physical space, moving briskly through a dystopia that seems both specific and generalised.
