It's faithful to OMD, ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Kraftwerk, and a lot of other technocratic ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ future-music made mostly in England and Western ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Europe during the 1970s and 80s. Here, Darkstar's ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ beauty is the cold kind. They walk the empty ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ streets in military rhythms and luxuriate in ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ solitude. They cover the Human League. ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ This development will surprise anyone who ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ followed the singles Darkstar released between ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ 2007 and 2009, when they were another dubstep ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ production group trying hard to develop a ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ signature sound in the context of a genre that ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ changes every month. By last October's "Aidy's ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Girl's a Computer" (included here), they'd ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ arrived at something refined, melancholy, and ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ lighter than most of the other singles on ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Hyperdub, a label responsible for some of ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ dubstep's most rigorous and forward-thinking ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ downers (Burial, King Midas Sound, Kode9, etc.). ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ "Aidy's" has a simple backdrop: A skipping drum ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ loop borrowed from British two-step, a ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ synthesized glockenspiel or xylophone repeating a ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ subtle, shifting pattern, and some minimal, ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ surface-level synth-bass. The innovation was in ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ the song's narrators: A series of buzzing synth ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ lines that flicker in and out like their ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ connection to the rest of the song doesn't quite ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ work, and a heavily processed vocal that cuts ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ itself off halfway into each word it tries to ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ say. The track's conceptual elegance was that it ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ invoked the same kind of existential anxieties ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ synth-pop was basically built to-- like how to ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ exist as a human being in a computer world-- in ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ ways that sounded contemporary and eerie, which ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ is part of what makes North a little ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ disappointing: In a way, Darkstar were already on ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ their way to making a record that would've made ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ North feel obsolete. ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ For most of North, James Young and Aiden Whalley, ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Darkstar's principals, worked with a more ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ traditionally human-sounding vocalist, James ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Buttery. There's a little vocal surgery, a little ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ rearranging, but Buttery would never pass for a ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ computer, and that's obviously by design-- in ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ this setting, he's the stunted soul just trying ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ to salvage a little humanity in the ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ post-industrial darkness. His environment-- ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ tapestries of two-dimensional synthesizers ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ humming in minor keys, drum machines chirping and ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ clicking away in mid tempos-- is more familiar ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ than "Aidy's". It's beautiful, too, and barely ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ budges. ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Obviously there's no fault in returning to ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ synth-pop templates or ideas in the 00s-- the ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Junior Boys have done it well, and the Knife have ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ done it even better. But the problem with this ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ music is that the longer it's left out to blend ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ into the general culture, the harder bands have ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ to work to keep it sounding inventive. I've been ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ this kind of sad before, so when I hear it now-- ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ on an album like North-- it's almost as nostalgia ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ for a certain familiar feeling than the feeling ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ itself. ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ North is definitely Hyperdub's most pop-friendly ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ release, but it's also one of its most ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ conservative-- not a bad thing, just an ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ interesting one given the importance label ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ integrity plays in the electronic dance music ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ world. And while North doesn't compromise that ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ integrity, it's the first time that a label so ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ concerned with the future ended up with a record ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ so committed to the past. ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ░ ▀▓████▀ ║ ║▄░████▓▀ ░ ▀ ░████▓▄║ ║░▓████░ ▀ ▀░████▓╟◄──────────────────────────────────────────────────►╢▓████░▀ ▄ ░░▓███╠════════════════════════════════════════════◄QUOTES►╢╣███▓░░ ▄ ▄ ░▄▄ ▀▀██████║ ║██████▀▀ ▄▄░ ▀░▓███████▄▄║ A poet once said, "The whole universe is in a ║▄▄███████▓░▀ ▀░▓███████▄▄║ glass of wine."

It's faithful to OMD, ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº Kraftwerk, and a lot of other technocratic ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº future-music made mostly in England and Western ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº Europe during the 1970s and 80s. Here, Darkstar's ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº beauty is the cold kind. They walk the empty ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº streets in military rhythms and luxuriate in ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº solitude. They cover the Human League. ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº This development will surprise anyone who ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº followed the singles Darkstar released between ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº 2007 and 2009, when they were another dubstep ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº production group trying hard to develop a ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº signature sound in the context of a genre that ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº changes every month. By last October's "Aidy's ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº Girl's a Computer" (included here), they'd ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº arrived at something refined, melancholy, and ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº lighter than most of the other singles on ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº Hyperdub, a label responsible for some of ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº dubstep's most rigorous and forward-thinking ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº downers (Burial, King Midas Sound, Kode9, etc.). ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº "Aidy's" has a simple backdrop: A skipping drum ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº loop borrowed from British two-step, a ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº synthesized glockenspiel or xylophone repeating a ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº subtle, shifting pattern, and some minimal, ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº surface-level synth-bass. The innovation was in ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº the song's narrators: A series of buzzing synth ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº lines that flicker in and out like their ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº connection to the rest of the song doesn't quite ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº work, and a heavily processed vocal that cuts ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº itself off halfway into each word it tries to ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº say. The track's conceptual elegance was that it ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº invoked the same kind of existential anxieties ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº synth-pop was basically built to-- like how to ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº exist as a human being in a computer world-- in ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº ways that sounded contemporary and eerie, which ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº is part of what makes North a little ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº disappointing: In a way, Darkstar were already on ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº their way to making a record that would've made ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº North feel obsolete. ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº For most of North, James Young and Aiden Whalley, ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº Darkstar's principals, worked with a more ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº traditionally human-sounding vocalist, James ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº Buttery. There's a little vocal surgery, a little ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº rearranging, but Buttery would never pass for a ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº computer, and that's obviously by design-- in ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº this setting, he's the stunted soul just trying ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº to salvage a little humanity in the ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº post-industrial darkness. His environment-- ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº tapestries of two-dimensional synthesizers ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº humming in minor keys, drum machines chirping and ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº clicking away in mid tempos-- is more familiar ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº than "Aidy's". It's beautiful, too, and barely ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº budges. ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº Obviously there's no fault in returning to ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº synth-pop templates or ideas in the 00s-- the ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº Junior Boys have done it well, and the Knife have ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº done it even better. But the problem with this ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº music is that the longer it's left out to blend ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº into the general culture, the harder bands have ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº to work to keep it sounding inventive. I've been ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº this kind of sad before, so when I hear it now-- ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº on an album like North-- it's almost as nostalgia ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº for a certain familiar feeling than the feeling ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº itself. ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº North is definitely Hyperdub's most pop-friendly ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº release, but it's also one of its most ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº conservative-- not a bad thing, just an ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº interesting one given the importance label ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº integrity plays in the electronic dance music ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº world.
