Alien Body Positivity

Jensen Interceptor
Synthetic Seduction EP
PM+22
After giving us a minute to catch our breath, Australia's most prolific electroid pressure cooker Jensen Interceptor barrels back into earshot with some of his most wildly tweaked productions to date. The Sydney-born sound crusher makes a PM+ debut with two servings of the kind of intensely detailed, nerve-shredding gear that makes speaker stacks melt into a puddle of radioactive goo.
'Alien Body Positivity' is something we can all get behind, not least with the kind of mutant style that makes everyone throw themselves into distinctly unearthly forms. There's a rave sensibility coursing through the lurid square wave synth work, but it's warped with reckless abandon at every turn and strapped to a brutally heavy kick that sounds like boulders bouncing down a mountain pass. 'Flux Entrance' finds a slower groove and then deftly peppers it with double-time intensity for a future footwork sort of effect — all the better to ride the exotic lead lick and stretched-out sonic zipper at the front of the mix. Hold tight for the razor chops on the vocal in the final stretch — the dizzying icing on a dislocated disco cake. On both counts this is Jensen coming correct with the most delightfully damaged wares in his accomplished career.
