Vlimmer (Berlin based musician Alexander Donat) is back with a new EP, Diskomfort EP, following on from last year's Bodenhex album. This new one brings together five tracks of goodness, with a lean and lovely runtime of twenty minutes.
The five tracks making up the EP all share a similar style of a repetitive drum beat from start to end. The press release states this is more dreamlike than the darkness that could be found in his last album. Kicking off with 'Firmament', it follows into 'Ungleichgewicht', carrying on the drum beat sound. While the constant drums of a threading factor, each track has its distinct sound of often reflective sound, such as the eighties goth disco beat of 'Friedhofen', and the more introspective sounding title track 'Diskomfort'. It ends on the off-kilter sound of 'Nachleben' that was my favourite track on EP, one that certainly had a dreamlike feel to it, weirdly reminding me of the music of Jeff Wayne's musical version of The War of the Worlds!
I liked this as much as I expected to, I especially liked how it seemed to improve with each listen, each track having a similar hypnotic repetitive beat to it but coming out with its own fresh sound. Diskomfort EP is another release from Vlimmer that is well worth a listen.
