When it comes to artists who constantly keep impressing with their work, whether it’s the music, videos or overall “packaging” of their music and presence, Perturbator has been at the very top (together with a few others) for a while now. The Frenchman isn’t only a frontrunner of the Dark Synthwave “neon apocalypse” we’ve been going through lately but one of those artists who have lead the assault for a while now. His fourth album “Uncanny Valey” was out on Blood Music a few weeks ago (and not in 2112 A.D as the rumours had it) and besides the impressive packaging (vinyls, CDs, bonus material and lots of cool artwork) which is guaranteed to earn some extra points it’s the actual music itself that makes it such a complete album.

13 original tracks which perfectly showcase Perturbator‘s maturity as a composer and his ability to tell a story through his albums, an art that is somewhat lost in the majority of today’s electronic music. From dark to melancholic, from mellow to filthy and from evil to aggressive, “Uncanny Valley” has all your audio needs covered whether you’re looking to turn off the lights and let it take you on a ride or looking to rage to some good ol’electronic bangers.

Maybe not the most well-polished album you’ve ever heard in terms of production but that’s not necessarily bad, especially since it works great with the overall concept and context of “Uncanny Valley”. A very fun album to listen to no doubt, this is definitely Perturbator‘s finest and most complete work up to date so do yourselves a favor and check it out.
