Geigerteller, the latest album by Xploding Plastix, is a tour de force of electronica, jazz, and rock. The Norwegian duo, Jens Petter Nilsen and Hallvard Hagen, have created a sound that is both complex and accessible, blending intricate rhythms, lush melodies, and unexpected sonic textures.
The album opens with the pulsating beats of "The Cave In Proper," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. From there, the listener is taken on a journey through a variety of moods and styles, from the dreamy "Treat Me Mean, I Need the Reputation" to the frenetic "Behind the Eightball."
One of the highlights of the album is the track "Sunset Spirals," which features a haunting vocal sample and a driving beat that builds to a crescendo. Another standout is "The Snarling," which showcases the duo's jazz chops with its intricate saxophone lines and frenzied drumming.
