A healthy dose of local darktronica
Brisbane duo Heidi Millington and Anthony Smith are the city’s premier exponents of electronic music seemingly composed with a quill. As Dizzygotheca, the pair use electronics to make music that is as folky and mystical as it is modern. On new six-track EP A Little Closer To The Truth, they immerse themselves in mantras and chilled, chilling washes of electronic noise. Opening track Sky Over Israel blends haunting voices with an ominous undercurrent, before the minimalist pulse of Little Beat combines almost a cappella moments with sub-aquatic sonics. Sand Or Set could be one of the desolate lullabies of This Mortal Coil, while I’m Here To Rescue You is part cyber torch ballad, part Burroughsian electro-jazz. The lush electronic burbles and swishes of Between Horses And Trees provide the most chilled-out moment, before closer 313 – like a sparser take on Goldfrapp’s fetishist grooves. The sheer amount of intriguing ideas on these six tracks confirms Dizzygotheca’s inventive approach to their deliciously dark art.
