Dronny Darko – Godless Lands (2024)
Review:
Dronny Darko (Oleg Puzan) continues a run of compelling dark ambient / electroacoustic ambient releases with Godless Lands. The album, themed around dystopian concepts, starts with a nod to classic influences like Klaus Schulze and Steve Roach through a retro synth-based ambient sound. This style is evident in several tracks, some of which even lean towards a lighter, more playful tone. However, the album soon shifts toward darker themes. ‘Valley of the Morbid’ employs soft static, mechanical vocalizations, and groaning walls in addition to a slightly bouncy synth line. ‘The Watchful Eye’ progresses in an even grimmer fashion, with a windswept soundscape and an underlying combination of both martial drumming and aleatoric percussion effects. ‘Patient 4067’ ventures into post-industrial territory, characterized by repetitive machine sounds and a menacing vibe. While these darker aspects are tempered by sequencing and brighter moments, the overall feel of Godless Lands varies between bleak and dangerously inhabited. The album is another cinematic release from an artist and a label well known for their efforts in this rough genre. — avantmusicnews.com
