"The duo of Nate Young (Wolf Eyes, Regression) and David Shettler (Viands, SSM) return with their highly-anticipated full-length follow-up to
MEQ
2LP remixes, released by Midwich in 2015.
Humanizer
is sonically diverse featuring varied modes of production throughout.
Humanizer
jettisons with their live staple 'New British Blues', the 10-minute track recalling Shettler's long-form work in Viands, putting synthesizers in space, as live drums invigorate the track with an earthbound brashness. 'Cycloid' is the album's most concise, bracing and dare-we-say catchy number -- a real ear-worm. 'Sea Dust' is a blasting electronic collage also featuring live drums (we think). The title track 'Humanizer' is classic Moon Pool, creepy and menacing with an off-kilter bass thump. 'A Gray Glow' continues in classic mode with thumping bass and queasy synths. 'Hospital Quiet' features pleasing, sunward-facing ambience to reassure listeners that all is good. Moon Pool and Dead Band have been a Detroit cult techno favorite since Shettler and Young joined forces in 2011. Uninitiated listeners are caught off-guard by the funkiness of the group, shaking assumptions about the group's perceived roots. We've all heard bad noise-techno records -- this isn't one of them. The danceable style is one that grows organically from the duo's life experience. Moon Pool and Dead Band approach the music with respect, knowledge and humor.
Humanizer
is a party-starter that could have only come from Detroit."
