Tiefschwarz haven’t managed to distil the electro house sound they pioneered into a coherent body of work until now. The temptation was undoubtedly there to bang out a succession of grinding ‘body’ tracks for this album, but instead, the Schwarz brothers have taken the time and effort to deliver a work that touches on indie and synth pop and which taps into the rich legacy of German electronic experimentation. Echoes of their deep house past are evident on the EBTG-style vocals of ‘Damage’, ‘Artificial Chemicals’ marries white-boy indie rock with their relentless style and standout cut ‘Benedict’ reshapes the synth hook from Kraftwerk’s ‘The Model’ to one of their bleepy backing tracks. Welcome to the big league, boys.
