Art As Catharsis is proud to release Comatone & Foley’s 'Trigger Happy 2' – the highly anticipated follow-up to Greg Seiler and Alon Ilsar’s 10-year-old dark techno collaboration, 'Trigger Happy'.
Coming in at four tracks, 'Trigger Happy 2' may be seen as a short release - but what’s on offer hits hard and fast. The complexity of each song lies in a similar ballpark to experimental techno heavyweights such as Autechre and Aphex Twin, dusted with machinated abyssal elements similar to those of Andy Stott.
Glitchy, diverse and excellently layered, Comatone & Foley have crafted a masterpiece. Second by second, metallic hits calcify the music’s silent air, drums cleave through the song structure with relentless breakbeats while phantasmic synths linger in the distant background. It’s engaging and challenging, both brutally present yet hauntingly distant – a soon-to-be favourite amongst electronica-lovers across the globe.
“The album’s scope, ideas and ambiguities stretch themselves out but never lose their inventiveness. There’s a lot of love for the computers and the beat – these guys pull out almost everything to shape an album on the brink of enjoying itself too much. Always a good thing.”
– Cyclic Defrost review of Trigger Happy

incredible ep and outstanding musichanship, this is really inspiring, the way Istrumental (adj.) play with rhythm is really engaging and I'm loving the slightly more midwest emo vibe on these tracks. Gata Vrangr
