This is the second Bot’Ox release (comprising of label boss Cosmo Vitelli and Julien Briffaz) on Parisian label I’m a Cliché.

Opening with a menacing glitchy hotpot played in an uncomfortable order, the momentum on the immediate classic ‘Babylon By Car’ builds to a perfect serene guitar breakthrough which juxtaposes everything that’s come before it.

It’s the sound of a serial killer driving across America from sunshine into thunder into sunshine and back again.

By toying with the atmospherics it becomes a bizarrely powerful and surreal piece of electronica that captures something altogether more intelligent than moving bodies on a dance floor.

‘Tragedy Symphony’ with its cheery title and gruff vocal about castration and rape (among other things) also manages to remain a head nodding piece of spaced out electronica by distorting all the conventions.
