about

Templer . H.A.C.E. . cd/digital
cd in Hands Paper Pack . HANDS D312

Hot on the heels of the 2021 HANDS debut “Myths And Consequences” comes this, the next TEMPLER album: This time around producer Thomas Chalandon renounces any collaborations and remixes and instead focuses on distilling his trademark sound, which is “old school with contemporary means”. With this agenda, he dishes out nothing less than an instant classic, filled to the brim with highly potential hit tracks - a dark, energetic and brooding rhythmic beast.
“H.A.C.E.” surely draws from Chalandon’s background as a techno producer and DJ, as it never ceases to push further, and this combines perfectly with his appreciation for timeless rhythm’n’noise sounds: It is based on slow, massively distorted and bass-heavy rhythms that slip from standard time signatures often enough to generate a heavy tribal atmosphere. Sometimes these rhythms come ultimately pronounced and pounding (“Galaxy of Nowhere”), sometimes ultimately “off” (“Man Behind the Sun”).
Also, Chandalon has a real knack for providing each track with an irresistible hook: Ominous ritual chants, ethnic sounds, hymnic choral, repetitive glacial synths, incomprehensible speeches and rants are used to great effect and generate a hypnotic atmosphere. The build-up of a track like “Smokehead” will linger in your earbuds for hours – earworm trigger warning! We recommend repeated exposure to figure out the favourite dance floor weapon of your choice.
Are you brave enough to lose yourself amid the mysterious haze?

A worthy successor to Your Dystopia, My Utopia. The title track is a chewy, distorted, fucked up love letter to 2020. The final track a re-imagining of the now 30 year old FLA's Digital Tension Dementia. Discordia
